| I've attended Kindling Words five or six times--each a unique experience. Some years I concentrated more on writing, and other times I focused on illustration. The beauty of KW is that you can make it work for what you need at the time. I’m lucky to live in an area where we have a big group of published children’s writers, but there aren’t many illustrators. It’s always exhilarating to get together with the artists at KW. My favorite sessions have been the informal ones where we’ve all spread our current projects out on a table and shared techniques or tips about a special paper or new kind of paint. I come home refreshed and inspired every time. |

| As an artist, I gained plenty of insight and inspiration from being among the likes of illustrators Kevin Hawkes, Peter Reynolds, and Melissa Sweet, past presenters at Kindling Words, as well as from the many writers and artists who attend kw each year | < Leo Landry Illustrator/Author, Fat Bat and Swoop, Eat Your Peas, Ivy Lousie |
