Lisa Wilcut: What it takes to bring a picture book to life in another language and culture.

Lisa recently translated the wonderful Japanese picture book 'Akira ga akete ageru kara' by renowned picture book creator Yoshitake Shinsuke - released as 'I Can Open That' (UK edition) and 'I Can Open It For You' (US edition). The original text includes numerous onomatopoeia—a challenge for even experienced translators. Hear how Lisa more than met that challenge and several others in this comprehensive look at what it takes to bring a picture book to life in another language and culture. Get your translation and picture book inspiration with us on Friday, March 22, 7:00-8:30pm JST on Zoom. 

This event will be in English.
