The joyful Story & Pictures By takes audiences behind the scenes to meet the authors and artists who create children’s picture books.

This entertaining documentary follows three emerging picture-book authors who are changing the genre by expanding the kinds of stories they tell and the idea of who gets to tell them. Christian Robinson (Last Stop on Market Street), Yuyi Morales (Viva Frida), and Mac Barnett (Sam & Dave Dig a Hole) create experimental work that reflects the mysteries of childhood, champions the marginalized, and provides children with windows into their lives. Through rare archival footage, we also come to meet some of the first boundary-pushing authors, including Maurice Sendak and Eric Carle, and books, such as Goodnight Moon, and learn why these classics endure today. Truly a film for the whole family to enjoy together! (85 mins., DCP)
