Little Blue Mushroom's children's book courses formed out of a desire to bridge daring creatives into the children's book world. After twenty years in publishing, eight published books, three years in children's book marketing, and a lifetime reading those wonderful little objects—I designed this program for illustrators to learn from the most beautiful books in publishing. I hope that these courses provide the structure and inspiration for you to bring your vision to the world.  —Kristen Balouch

Always affordable, always inclusive, and a good fit for published children's bookmakers. Check the start dates here. Email me If you would like to do a course self-paced.
