Have you ever wondered how a book gets made? You're not alone. Author and illustrator Marie-Louise Gay has met thousands of children, and fielded thousands of questions — Do you write all day? Where does a story start? Where do your ideas come from? Do you have a hamster? How did you learn to draw?
Marie-Louise Gay and her friends at Groundwood have put together some special materials to help you make a book wherever you are.
