Abstract

This interdisciplinary project combines the knowledge and skills of an early childhood education major and a graphic design major in the production of a piece of quality children's literature. The story is a narrative poem about the adventures of a lizard and a toad. The text and illustrations incorporate knowledge of children's literacy and language development and also the basic elements of page layout and design. Collaboration between the author and the illustrator was needed during the entire process in order to create a unified, developmentally appropriate book for children ranging from preschool age to third grade.
