Author vs. Illustrator

At the edge of the world, high on a mountaintop, a busy city is suddenly attacked by a. cute little furball? That cannot be right. The author intended a terrifying beast, not a cuddly creature. But the illustrator clearly has different ideas, and page by page the two creators begin writing and drawing themselves into the story.

From Lemke & Lentz comes a laugh-out-loud look at the not-so-simple process of making a picture book, packed with big humor and subtle lessons about teamwork, conflict resolution, and respect for young writers, budding artists, and devoted book lovers.
