Join award winning illustrator David Elmo Cooper for a fun and interactive children's book workshop! David will share a behind-the-scenes look at the illustrations for his latest book, Greta Green Builds a Submarine written by Sue Fliess.
Greta Green adores the ocean and spends her time cleaning the shoreline with her trusty bird and hermit crab. She can only dream of diving below the surface to discover the wonders hidden beneath…until the day that Greta gets a big idea: She and her pals will build their own submarine!
There will also be a reading of the book and a “Blueprinting” drawing challenge. Participants will focus on science and technology, drawing a design for their own ocean clean-up device using Greta’s Invention Journal and Submarine Checklist!
All art materials and a signed copy of the book are included. Suggested for picture book fans of all ages 5 & up.
