Craft Webinar: Crafting a Narrative Nonfiction Picture Book with Barb Rosenstock

How can we tell the truth while telling a story? By using narrative techniques from fiction to bring our nonfiction subjects to life! The narrative nonfiction picture book is a popular way to engage kids, teachers, and parents (as well as agents, publishers and award committees) by combining readability with well-researched factual information.

This webinar is an overview of writing the narrative nonfiction picture book. We will cover the specifics of telling the truth through story, including: mining your nonfiction topic for a narrative focus, working with a story map, writing in scenes and transitions, using picture book elements to pare your words, and working through steps to revise (or often, re-vision) your draft.
