Explore how words and illustrations work together in a picture book, then make art!

Preschoolers, kindergarteners, and their caregivers will get to take a closer look at what makes a book special. From the front cover to the back flap, picture books use all of their features to best tell a story. 

After the story, use provided supplies to make art inspired by the book! Wear clothes that can get messy.
