Calling all aspiring artists and illustrators for a special event with New York Times Bestselling Children’s Illustrator Alexandra Bye!

Alexandra will go through her process of making a book, why she does what she does, and demonstrate why each of your unique stories is valuable in contributing to collective empathy and creativity. Participants will be able to get their creativity flowing as well!

Alexandra Bye is the illustrator for a number of children’s books and graphic novels, including When Sally O’Malley Discovered the Sea, Who’s That Girl, The Only Woman in the Photo, We Could be Heroes, Absolutely Positively Natty, the Weenie series, A Dinosaur Named Ruth, and Fly, Girl, Fly. Alexandra Bye loves bringing stories to life that encourage people to challenge impossibilities and become brave enough to share their stories as well.

With Alexandra’s strong emphasis on prominent women in history and current day trend setters, she will provide a workshop that demonstrates why everyone’s unique story is valuable in contributing to collective empathy and creativity. With her historical books as backup, Alexandra looks at events like the New Deal and how important it is not to give up when the world is telling you no!
