Join children’s book creators Kristin Varner and Rachel Michelle Wilson in the ultimate battle between WORDS and ART! Are words more effective in storytelling or is art the stronger competitor? They’ll make arguments for both and invite participants to help them decide which one is the true champion.

Throughout this hot debate, participants will collaborate with Varner and Wilson using writing prompts and live drawing to craft a complete story from beginning to end. Who will take home the trophy? Take part in this engaging and interactive presentation to find out!

Participants will leave with an understanding of story essentials and the confidence to both write and illustrate stories of their very own.

This event is designed for youth in grades K-6, but everyone is welcome to enjoy the presentation!
