The Southeast Wisconsin Festival of Books will be held on June 17th and June 18th at UW-Waukesha. One of the festival's featured authors is Lynda Barry, who wrote and illustrated What It Is, which is a unique way of looking at the creative process (We own a copy of What It Is in our teen collection).
