In the old days, board books were either re-configured existing picture books or created in house. These days, like everything, this is changing with some incredibly exciting and fascinating books being created for babies and toddlers. In this mini course, you'll learn what board books are, who is publishing them, what kinds of language to use, some of the many topics that are of interest to this age group, and how to illustrate them.
