Writing Children’s Picture Books with Chris Carpenter

Join us as we welcome Chris Carpenter for an open discussion about writing and publishing children’s picture books and what it’s like working with an illustrator.

Carpenter is the co-author of two picture books, P is for Pterodactyl (The Worst Alphabet Book Ever) and No Reading Allowed (The Worst Read-Aloud Book Ever). Chris’ first book, P is for Pterodactyl, is a #1 New York Times Bestseller, was included in the American Booksellers Association’s Indie Next List, and was an Amazon Best Book of the Month. Chris also works as a software engineer for a NY-based tech company. He lives in South Orange, NJ with his wife and two daughters.
