How a Book is Made
How a book is made is an interactive presentation showing the many steps of book publication from sketch to finish. Students see how Grace gets red corrections marks, just like on their homework! Afterwards, Grace reads from one of her books, answers questions and ends the presentation with a drawing of a character from her books or a ‘draw-along’. Educational and fun!
