In this Book Week virtual excursion you will take part in an exclusive ‘behind the scenes’ investigation into the process of bringing a picture book to life. You will see original drafts, sketches and artworks from our extensive picture book archives that demonstrate how illustrators develop and plan their illustrations, bringing adding depth and meaning to the words on each page.

To receive a follow-up email with resources and links to items seen in the virtual excursion, we require you to enter your email address twice when registering.
