| School Appearances and Speaking Engagements:
To a kid who had a hard time completing anything she started, illustrating children's books seemed like unattainable Magic. But when she began her career as a professional illustrator, Susan Guevara's first book contract taught her that bookmaking Magic was possible. It came from the Imagination and hard work. Happily, these two essentials yield a fantastically satisfying journey along the way, and that is what she shares with students. With humor and imagination, she communicates the excitement of learning about new places through travel, reading, videos, popular culture, history - anything that helps her describe visually the world of the written story. Students learn about the process of combining this knowledge with one's own imagination to create a picture book.
