Cooking Up Funny Picture Books
with Julie Hedlund
Ready to write funny?
Award-winning author Julie Hedlund has created this presentation especially for picture book
writers and illustrators who want to write humorous stories for kids!
If you want kids to get the giggles when reading your funny picture book, you need a unique stew of surprise, subtext, timing, and illustrations (even if you're not an illustrator). With ample examples from recently published picture books, we will both analyze humor AND keep the frog alive.
This webinar purchase includes lifetime access to the 90-minute video, transcript, downloadable audio track, and a handout with an overview of 7 types of funny picture books.
"Learned so much! I will be reading some of these books. Inspired to pursue this type of writing."
