Some of our furry friends caught on camera!

At Boyds Mills, we’re nestled in the Pocono Mountains, so you never know who you might spot while exploring campus or wandering along our trails.

What are the 3 elements that every picture book needs?

Faculty member Natasha Khan Kazi covered picture book structure recently on our blog and answered this question. Specifically, she described how story beats, pacing, and page turns combine to make magic. There’s also an example in action from Natasha’s picture book LULU IN THE SPOTLIGHT.

Learn from Natasha as a special guest in our upcoming workshop: From Idea & Sketch to Dummy & Submission, starting September 2!
With Courtney Pippin-Mathur and special guest Aram Kim.

Somehow, July has come and gone!

We were so lucky to have so many wonderful people on campus this past month. From two sessions of Summer Camp to custom retreats and personal retreats, campus was overflowing with creativity, connection, and stories.

We also had the chance to celebrate our friend and faculty member Emily Rosenthal’s book while she was on campus! We were grateful to welcome many scholarship recipients and Storyteller Fellows and Mentors throughout the month.

There are so many exciting things ahead this fall, and campus won’t be slowing down anytime soon.
