Wordplay 2021: Illustrator Draw-Off

Illustrator Draw-off

Virtual Wordplay is a presentation of St. Catherine University and Star Tribune. This event is in partnership with Ryan Reads (a program of Ryan Companies) and the Brooklyn Book Festival.

Get ready! Get set! DRAW! Join four amazing and celebrated children’s illustrators Charnelle Pinkney Barlow (Born Ready: The True Story of a Boy Named Penelope), Linda Bondestam (Good Night, Earth), Mike Wohnoutka (How to Apologize), and Jon Klassen (Pax: Journey Home) as they compete for your votes with a live-illustration draw off. Each round, the moderator will give a new prompt to the illustrators then YOU get to vote for your favorite. We’ll declare a winner at the end, based on votes, but the real winner will of course be FUN!
