Children’s Book Launch: Deborah Marcero’s The Great Escape

Deborah Marcero’s new children’s book The Great Escape is a richly illustrated picture book that follows an older sister and her pack of wild, noisy, can’t-sit-still younger siblings on a grand and wondrous adventure. Deborah will read her book, share a little about the process of illustrating and how she created the magic realm and do a fun activity.

She is the author-illustrator of fifteen books for young people including the #1 Indie Bestselling In a Jar and Entertainment Weekly Best Book of the Year, Out of a Jar. Deborah has a BFA from the University of Michigan in drawing, photography and printmaking and an MFA in poetry from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Deborah calls Duluth, Minnesota home.
