Are you an illustrator who makes or is interested in making children's picture books, and is curious to know what kinds of free resources the San Francisco Public Library offers for research and inspiration? From art books to rare books, special collections to a historic children’s book collection, the SFPL is a remarkably rich resource for the kidlit creator. 

K-Fai Steele is the author and illustrator of A Normal Pig and the illustrator of Does a Bulldozer Have a Butt? and other books for young readers. She was a Brown Handler Writer in Residence at the San Francisco Public Library, a recipient of the James Marshall Fellowship at the University of Connecticut, and a recipient of the Ezra Jack Keats/Kerlan Memorial Fellowship at the University of Minnesota. She now lives in Lausanne, Switzerland.
