Jarrett J. Krosoczka’s work has been critically acclaimed in Newsweek, The New York Times, The PBS Teachersource, Publisher’s Weekly, and Kirkus Reviews. Print, the nation’s premiere magazine concerning the arts in print, featured Jarrett as one of their top 20 new artists under the age of 30 in their March/April 2003 New Visual Artist Issue. Winner of a number of book awards, Jarrett is a publishing tour de force. His books are consistently starred by reviewers and his school visits receive equally high praise by administrators, teachers, librarians and kids across the country.
Through an interactive presentation, Jarrett discusses how he grew from a boy who loved to draw and write to an adult who makes picture books. Jarrett will read his books, share the stories behind the making of the books and give a digital slide show that details his growth as an artist and author. Students will see drawings that Jarrett made when he was their age and be captivated by the progress a single painting makes from sketch to finish. All along, he talks about his writing process and shares stories of the numerous rejections his early projects garnered.
