TESTIMONIALS
Kerry Hansen hit it out of the park with Gotcha!: How to Write Picture Books That Catch Three-Year-Old Readers and Beyond. She’s an engaging speaker who kept our interest with multiple picture book examples to drive home the points she was making. Her exercises were fun and the homework meant that we all had an opportunity to put what we learned into practice immediately! I recommend her wholeheartedly and can’t wait to attend another presentation!

Kerry Hansen was hilarious but also had at least 1 PB example for every point she shared. So organized and really helpful for all genres and ages. Plus Kerry's experience as a teacher plus as a kidlit writer...these all intersected to bring unique perspective and input.
Thank you for excellent examples, huge humor, and insightful info!! Cool Beans! Gonna go brainstorm some ideas...

I absolutely LOVED your GOTCHA presentation. It was probably THE BEST webinar I've attended. Your personality, wit, experience, informative and organized/detailed slideshow...you were (and are) amazing!!

Wow, Kerry, you rocked it last night! Soooo professional. Wish I had that webinar 10 years ago. It answered so many questions, issues I've struggled with. Big thanks.

Kerry presented on writing PB for 3s and 4s. It was an amazing collection of ideas and mentor texts for writing short, funny, suspenseful, interactive, and informational PB.
