PICTURE BOOK WRITING 101 

I'm going to risk humiliating myself to make an important point about writing picture books.The pages below are from the original draft of Waiting for Gregory that I sent to my editor, Christy, eleven years ago. Thankfully, she rejected it. The rest of the story takes place in a hospital waiting room. Can't you imagine the picture possibilities? The clock, a couch, chairs...the clock, a couch, chairs...That draft proves I didn't know a thing about writing picture books.
