Francie Dillon: Literature for Children class presentation
Posted by admin | Filed under News
Last November, Colleen & Tim presented to professor, storyteller and singer, Francie Dillon’s Literature for Children class at California State University in Sacramento.

We read the book to the class and spoke about the process of creating No Monster Here from concept to print and the unique collaborative relationship between the writer Colleen and illustrator Alyssa. It is rare when an author gets to not only choose their illustrator but work directly with them. This is one of the benefits of publishing a book yourself and we feel this collaborative approach is what helps make No Monster Here unique. It also allowed for Colleen and Alyssa to creatively weave educational concepts into the book.
We had a book give-away for students and passed along copies of our monster art project for them to use in their classrooms.
