In Praise of Creators:
​Authors, Illustrators & Narrators

Here's to the wordsmiths who take a tiny germ of an idea and create a book with a premise, plot, characters, setting, dialogue, and information. These elements are intricately woven into a cohesive literary work that expands understanding,, delights, and informs readers.
Here's to the illustrators who respond to the text with fresh perspective, attention to detail, and eye-catching design. Art engages readers, adding richness and depth to the reading adventure.
Here's to the narrators who take words penned by an author and craft a performance that adds another storytelling dimension. It's all in the pacing, the pause, the intonation. It's the entire package. A treat ears and minds.
