Book Trailer Premiere: Our Story Begins, edited by Elissa Brent Weissman
You know, FUNNY GIRL wasn’t the only anthology out this year. I seem to recall quite a few of them gracing our bookstore and library shelves in 2017. One of them struck me as particularly keen too. Called Our Story Begins it contains actual books created by famous children’s book authors and illustrators when THEY were kids. Can you think of a better way of informing children that becoming a writer is a real possibility?
Now here’s where editor Elissa Brent Weissman is much smarter than me. She’s created just a fantastic book trailer with some of her contributors. Ever wanted to see the school picture of Jarrett Krosoczka or the award winning (it actually was!) book of Grace Lin? It’s all here. They’re here. And it’s a very keen video to see:
