Wow, I love the way she uses that Wacom tablet. I have a 6" x 8" tablet, but now I'm lusting after hers. Thanks to Tracy Bishop and Loni Edwards for the link.

One of the fun videos in a "Short Answers to Big Questions on Picture Books" series by children's book author and illustrator, Debra Frasier. The video is a great alternative to a typical book trailer video and a brilliant promo strategy.
