We’ve been working on this Pennies for Elephants video trailer over the past few days — I think it’s ready to premiere.

We included some of the original newspaper pictures from the Boston Post in 1914 so you can see that the characters in the story are visually based on real people. Lita is giving a presentation this Friday at the Wisconsin State Reading Association (WSRA) Conference in Milwaukee and will be discussing the visual research she does to create characters for her stories. She gave a similar talk last April at the Nashua SCBWI conference but this new talk is really expanded based on all the work she’s done recently for Pennies for Elephants and Yellowstone Moran.

Anyway, let us know what you think of the video!
