Want to learn more about illustrating books for children? Do you love to draw as much as you love to read? Then join author/illustrator of the popular Randy the Badly Drawn Horse series, T. L. McBeth, as he leads a fun workshop to go over the basics of illustrating. No supplies needed–seating is limited to the first 10 participants, so arrive early to claim your seat. Once inside Joseph-Beth, ride the escalator downstairs and walk straight ahead to the “Barn” for this activity.
Don’t forget to ask a book festival volunteer about a free book voucher for kids 12 years old and under! Visit dozens of authors of books for pre-K through middle grade readers in the big white tent. No purchase or registration is required to participate in this activity at the Kentucky Book Festival on October 29.
Author + Speaker Lineup
T. L. McBeth was born in Findlay, Ohio. As a child, he grew up reading Dr. Seuss and H. A. & Margret Rey (although he mainly looked at the pictures). He studied illustration in college where he developed a love for expressive and minimal characters. In 2015, he moved to New York City to pursue an illustration career and he is currently lucky enough to illustrate picture books full time.
