Doug Salati, author of the Caldecott award-winning 2022 picture book "Hot Dog," began developing the idea for his book during his Sendak Fellowship in 2015. As an archives assistant at the Maurice Sendak Foundation, Salati immersed himself in Sendak’s creative world, studying original sketches, preliminary drawings, and final works.
In this lecture, Salati will share behind-the-scenes insights into his creative process, lessons learned from one of the greatest storytellers of our time, and how Sendak’s methodologies continue to inspire his work today.
