There is also a chapter on the printing process of picture books and a new chapter on non-fiction picture books. It provides a detailed examination of how children engage with picture books. Split into eight fascinating chapters, this book covers everything from the history of the picture book to case studies and interviews with some of the most influential picture book creators today, as well as an overview of the publishing industry.

But what does it take to create a successful picture book for children? This revised edition of a bestselling title carries invaluable insight into a highly productive, dynamic sector of the publishing world.
