The forest, snowballs, snow angels and teh mysterious white stuff itself provide fuel for Sam's questions and Stella's answers as they discover the world of winter together.

Marie–Louise Gay

The creation of a picture book for children is deceptively simple. In order to pare down a story to its essentials while retaining rhythm, poetic images, humor, plot and a child’s vision of the world, writers need a rich visual counterpoint. Images in a picture book add multi–layered dimensions to a story by contributing details and sub–plots, and revealing the characters’ emotions through body language and facial expression. Marie–Louise Gay, creator of the Stella and Sam picture books, explores how images can offer an enriched visual vocabulary that enhances a child’s appreciation of a story. Venue: Martello Room, Holiday Inn. Tickets: $25.00. (thebookpile)… (més)
