This review is from: How to Write and Illustrate Children's Books (Hardcover)

I came across this book, and noting that it is out of print (How did that happen? This is a wonderful book!), I wanted to say that I think it is not only a wonderful, inspiring book, but that it is also informative, and on the 'must-have' list.

It's like catching lightning in a bottle - this is inspiration on paper! :)
