"A Connecticut landmark has gone missing! It is up to a pair of young detectives to recover it, and their adventures will take them all over the state. <a href="http://cthumanities.org/ctcaper-contributors/" target="_blank">Written in 12 chapters by 12 authors, aided by 12 illustrators</a>, The Great Connecticut Caper is a serialized mystery published on the Connecticut Humanities website that both educates and entertains readers about an iconic Connecticut landmark.<br />
<br />
Publication of the first chapter takes place on January 4, 2015, with a launch party at the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art on January 7. After that, new chapters will be published every two weeks (through June of 2015). Accompanying the chapters will be interactive puzzles and games that provide new and entertaining ways for readers to engage with the unique history of Gillette Castle.<br />
<br />

I had the pleasure of meeting Anneliese at my local SCBWI critique group a couple of years ago - Please, check out her work at <a href="http://anneliesejuergensen.com/blog" target="_blank">AnnelieseJuergensen.com</a><br />

</strong><br />
<strong>What am I working on now?</strong><br />
As a writer/illustrator I have been working on a picture book idea entitled <em>Sisters</em>. <em>Sisters</em> depicts the relationship between two best friends after one of them goes back to her home country.<br />
For the illustrations I have been exploring different mediums - I enjoy making three-dimensional cut paper collages as much as I do drawing with graphite pencil, or painting with gouache. Deciding which medium will be most appropriate to translate the mood of the story requires careful consideration.<br />

<strong>How does my work differ from others of its genre?</strong></div>
<div>
The stories that I write are definitely influenced by the children's books that I loved to read when I was a child. Most of the times they were picture books about hope, love, happiness and friendship. Thought provoking text and delightful illustrations made me go back to them again and again. Among my favorites were two Swedish books published in 1973,<i> E<span class="hps">n</span> </i><span class="hps"><i>vän</i> and A<i>tt bli glad, </i>both by Leif Kristiansson with illustrations by Dick Stenberg. </span></div>

<strong><br /></strong>
<strong>Why do I write what I do?</strong><br />
Often I write about friendship. I am captivated by it's selfless and long lasting nature. Revisiting these ideas while I write reassures me that we are not alone, that we have, had or will have a friend at some point in our lives who will make us see the world in a beautiful way. And that is what I want to share with the reader.</div>

<strong><br /></strong>
<strong>How does your writing process work?</strong></div>
<div>
For me, pictures and words usually arrive at the same time. I write down and draw my ideas on a storyboard format that shows every page at a thumbnail size. The storyboard is where -for the first time- pictures and words come together. Later, I make a book dummy, which is a homemade version of the book that I envision. This step is extremely helpful because it allows me to take in consideration the many variables that make a book a true multidimensional object. Turning the pages of the book dummy gives me a chance to experience the story's progression in the same way the finished book will.</div>

<br />
As a natural science illustrator, Meg Sodano brings the outdoor world into her children's book illustrations. She wants to encourage kids and adults alike to get outside, explore the animals and environments around them, and have adventures that help them build a great appreciation for nature. Her recently published picture book, <i>Georgia Goes to Lunch</i> (written by commercial pilot and philanthropist Andrea Coppick), is less about nature and all about adventure. It tells the story of one very special day in the life of a 7-year-old girl, complete with a sports car and private plane. Meg also creates detailed biological illustrations and custom animal portraits.

It is a book that has remained meaningful, thought-provoking and relevant to every generation that reads it, regardless of how the world changes.<br />
<br />
The winning design will be used for the first print run of the anniversary edition in the spring of 2013.<br />
