Published Children's Book illustrators and authors talk about how they broke into the industry, what works and doesn't, and offer tips for success in a competitive market via an informative Q&A panel. Panelists include Patrick Loehr, Joyce M. Turley, Jeff Crosby and Shelly Ann Jackson.
In 2007, Patrick Loehr's debut children’s book, Mucumber McGee and the Half-Eaten Hot Dog (HarperCollins publishers) was nominated for the Borders Original Voices Award. In 2006 he was named a “Top 40” digital artist by the Los Angeles Center for Digital Art. Loehr has since released a sequel to Mucumber McGee along with a Japanese language edition of the book, and become the department chair of the Art and New Media Design department at the community College of Aurora.
Award winning illustrator Joyce Mihran Turley, specializes in presenting scientifically accurate images of nature with a painterly style and colorful palette. Published by the Grand Canyon Association, Animals Count in Grand Canyon National Park is her latest book release. It introduces young children to the engaging animals and scenery of the park. Joyce's current projects include The Totally Out There Guide to Glacier National Park, a comprehensive illustrated guide to the park for older students, and One Night in the Everglades, a book detailing current research efforts to return the Everglades to a more sustainable condition. Her loon and osprey illustrations are featured in a series of books for children published by Mountain Press Publishing.
