Each year RISD illustration majors spend a semester in a remarkable class called Picture and Word. For their final project, each student must present a picture book – the story, illustrations, design, and construction. It is a labor of love, and the results are delightful. Now these students have a chance to share their stories with you at an afternoon reading. It’s a wonderful opportunity for all of us to be inspired by their work and learn about the creative process!

Judy Sue Goodwin Sturges and author April Prince are the guiding hands behind the Picture and Word course that has produced some of our favorite award-winning authors and illustrators. Ages 5+ (adults welcome, too!).
