If you’ve read the cover, you’ve read all three words in the book: rat, art, and fair. I also like to think of it as a story about adorable rats who build tiny things.īy nearly wordless, I mean that there is a tiny bit of reading inside the book, but no actual story text. I like to think of it as a story about curiosity, kindness, and perseverance.
They meet some setbacks and have to start over again, and it eventually becomes apparent that they might do well to trust the human child who’s been hanging around on the sidelines and wants to help them out. Rat Fair is a nearly wordless picture book about a very talented group of rats who find letters fallen from an Art Fair sign, put the sign back together so it spells Rat Fair and then get down to business creating their own fair. Once I’d turned the words on an Art Fair sign into “Rat Fair” in my head and began imagining what a rat fair might actually be like, I couldn’t stop thinking about it until I wrote it down, and here we are! It was inspired by my habit of playing with words combined with the fact that I grew up in (and now live near) a town that holds a giant art fair every summer.
Hello, and thank you for having me on the blog! I’m so excited to share Rat Fair with you. Can you tell us about your new book, Rat Fair? She talks about how she sold a wordless picture book! Rat Fair debuts next Tuesday, June How to Write a Wordless Picture Book An Interview with Leah Kessler Welcome, Leah. (You can read about our debut group here: ). Today’s tip is from my fellow debut group member Leah Rose Kessler. My solution? I’ve found it helpful to simply PAUSE and say to myself, “Is this what you want to do?” That simple action helps me to get back on track and finish my work. Instead, I want to shift my focus to something new, usually social media. When I get interrupted, I tend to have difficulty refocusing. My home office feels like the traffic hub in a busy city.
My kids are home from college, working part time jobs.
