Jackie Urbanovic
March 25, 2010 · Grades 1-3

Jackie Urbanovic loves the Marx Brothers, Popeye, Bugs Bunny and a slew of other comic characters so much that her own picture book stories and illustrations are infused with a joyful, wacky vision of delight and escapade, including Duck Soup and Duck And Cover.

 

During the live program, Urbanovic talks about how humor fuels the inspiration behind her Max the Duck series. She also answers questions posed by students via video and telephone. The program includes a visit to the author’s studio where Urbanovic shows viewers the illustration process from thumbnail sketches to a final book. Students at Colvin Run Elementary (FCPS) participate in a lesson where they become authors and illustrators.
