Kathleen Ahrens (Professor, Department of English at Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and member of the Board of Advisors, Society of Children's Book Writers & Illustrators)

This one-hour session will jump start your creative writing process by (1) leading you through the steps involved in writing picture books, (2) providing advice for the creation of bilingual texts, and (3) examining the structure and themes of classic picturebooks. Come with your favorite writing or drawing implements and be prepared to write or sketch your ideas and to share them with others in small group discussions.
