Art of Illustrations

Michaela Goade, a Caldecott medalist and New York Times bestseller for her illustrations, reads from her 2022 book, Berry Song, at Keet Gooshi Heen Elementary School May 6. Goade told the audience this was the first children's book she both illustrated and wrote. In her presentation, which was attended by about 100 children and adults, she discussed the process of writing and creating paintings for publication. The event included a game of Berry Bingo, a QR Code walk, Sitka Swirls ice cream and Goade led a watercolor workshop.
