Children's book author Petra Fuchs has a great idea for a new picture book. Together with illustrator Julius Dachs, she gets to work, and soon a publisher is found for their story. However, before the book hits the shelves and reaches customers, many more creative minds are needed! This picture book takes us behind the scenes of bookmaking. Daniel Napp, a successful author and illustrator of picture books like Dr. Brumm and Farmer Beck, reveals what needs to be done to turn an idea into a finished book. This way, even young bookworms and literature enthusiasts can understand what terms like "proof" and "imprimatur" mean, and what editors, producers, printers, and booksellers contribute to ensure we can hold a beautiful new picture book in our hands.
