While the world of writers, illustrators and publishers focus on the craft of the picture book, others must facilitate the discovery of and engagement with the final product. From parks to parades to pediatricians (and other peculiar occasions and locations), Kirsten Cappy of the children’s literature marketing firm Curious City will talk about the role of picture books in childhood and the role of picture book creators in opening books for children.
