A vibrant exploration of the transformative power of children's picture books and the artists behind them

Story & Pictures By is the first feature documentary to take audiences behind the scenes to meet the authors and artists who create children’s picture books. The film follows Christian Robinson, Yuyi Morales, and Mac Barnett—three bookmakers leading the new “golden age” of kids literature—as they create experimental work that reflects the mysteries of childhood, champion the marginalized, and provide children with windows and mirrors, even when their own lives are not fairy tales.
