Doodle Along with Author-Illustrators Mo Willems, Jarrett J. Krosoczka and More!


Stone Bookworms are also often budding illustrators and love Mo Willems and Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus and his Elephant and Piggie series.  Now, "Mo Willems invites YOU into his studio every day for his LUNCH DOODLE. Learners worldwide can draw, doodle and explore new ways of writing by visiting Mo’s studio virtually once a day at for the next few weeks. Grab some paper and pencils, pens, or crayons and join Mo to explore ways of writing and making together.  New episodes will be posted each weekday at [noon] and then remain online to be streamed afterwards. "
Click here to cyber-meet Mo and doodle along!  



There is also an awesome YouTube series, Draw Every Day with JJK, featuring the popular Jarrett J. Krosoczka, author of the Lunch Lady and Peanut Butter and Jellyfish series (and National Book Award finalist for his very young adult graphic novel, Hey, Kiddo), sure to inspire what I hope are the many participants in our Stone Graphic Novel Contest!  Check him out here!  

Other fun drawing sites are on Kidlit TV (all the drawing videos are in blue).

**NEW!**You can also draw along with illustrator Dav Pilkey of Captain Underpants fame here!  


With all this practice, I think we are going to have some pretty great new budding artists when we get back to school!

Stone Bookworms Challenge Question:  Which illustrator did you draw along with today using these links?  What did you draw?
