Hey there word nerds! Today I have the pleasure of hosting Gina Cascone and Bryony Williams Sheppard on the show! This mother-daughter powerhouse team has co-authored the picture book Around the World Right Now, a multicultural adventure through our world's 24 time zones. Gina is the author of 30 books in several different genres, and Bryony is a teacher at heart and loves bringing stories to life for her students, making them the perfect duo to bring this story to life. Listen in as we dissect the writing elements of Around the World Right Now and the exciting, often daunting, task of crafting a picture book. In this episode Gina, Bryony, and I discuss:  What the important things you must consider when writing a picture book. The delicate balance between not fixating too much on the images while also giving the illustrator something to work with. How to craft a good story that can also be a great learning tool. Why it is much more difficult to write for children than adults. How to craft a picture book that can engage and entertain children while not being flashy.  Plus both of these ladies' #1 tip for writers. For more info and show notes:  DIYMFA.com/161
