Invite Mona and local Westchester Kidlit Authors to your school, library, or community center for a personalized event that connects kids with picture books!

When you schedule a Picture Book Camp, authors will guide your writers through the process of creating a picture book, from brainstorming to finished book. We can also adapt our camps across the curriculum, and anywhere from a 1-hour to a multi-day event.
