Telling Tales’ StoryScapes returns this fall with three new events! Join digital wizard and author, Marty Chan, as he hosts an engaging virtual workshop with illustrator Jack Wong on Wednesday, November 25, 2026 at 9:15 AM ET.

What to Expect:

You’ll meet a Canadian illustrator from Telling Tales’ 2026 Reading List, hear a reading from the picture book they illustrated, and learn about how they create art in their own unique style.

Each session will also feature a take home project! Based on a creative prompt inspired by the themes present in the featured book, participants will be invited to make their own unique creation using the same artistic style shared by the participating illustrator. Submit your artwork to Telling Tales’ Try My Style Project for a chance to win copies of the featured story! (Details on how to submit your art will go out to registrants following each workshop.)

These workshops are perfect for children in Grades 1 to 6.
