For each book that sits on our shelves or rests in our hands, a writer (and often an illustrator) has spent countless hours researching, organizing, writing and rewriting. In Open Book’s At The Desk series, creators tell us about their creative processes and the workspaces that inspire them.
Author and illustrator Bill Slavin has worked on more than 50 (you read that right!) books for young readers. His newest project is Big City Otto (Kids Can Press), which follows the adventures of Otto the elephant while he searches for his childhood friend, Georgia the chimpanzee.
