Presented by children's author Marsha Diane Arnold.
Join children's author Marsha for a lively presentation on the art of story, the craft of writing, and the special art form that is the picture book.
Labeled a "born storyteller" by the media, Marsha wrote the popular, award-winning Sonoma County newspaper column "Homegrown Treasures" from 1985 to 1995. She has authored eleven picture books including the soulful Ridgway award winner, HEART OF A TIGER, the Smithsonian Notable PUMPKIN RUNNER, based on a real event, and the uproarious ROAR OF A SNORE. She is currently working on a chapter book.
Marsha travels nationally and internationally as a speaker and writing workshop leader for schools and conferences. She has taught aspiring authors for nine years, both privately with the Institute of Children's Literature, and onlie with Mediabistro.com. In 2008 Marsha was honored to be the only children's author ever invited by the Sequoia Parks Foundation to participate in their "Artists in the Back country" program.
