Exploring design and illustration of children's picture books. We are graphic designers who have always been intrigued and inspired by the wealth of art and writing created for children's books.

The Story Map interactive includes a set of graphic organizers designed to assist teachers and students in prewriting and postreading activities. The organizers are intended to focus on the key elements of character, setting, conflict, and resolution development. Students can develop multiple characters, for example, in preparation for writing their own fiction, or they may reflect on and further develop characters from stories they have read. After completing individual sections or the entire organizer, students have the ability to print out their final versions for feedback and assessment. The versatility of this tool allows it to be used in multiple contexts. The quality of this activity is the different foci and purposes under the grade level tabs.
