Press Teams Up With Schools to Create Books

Andrea Skyberg announces a program, “Creating Books in Collaboration,” scheduled for Friday, Sept. 27, at Boswell Books at 7 p.m. at Boswell Books in Milwaukee. Here are the details:

The books of Andrea Skyberg and M.W. Greer, the husband-and-wife team behind Wooden Nickel Press, feature artwork created in collaboration with students from Wisconsin schools. In addition to Skyberg’s latest endeavor, CommuniTree, they will be presenting and launching Greer’s new mid-grade novel, The Eyes of India, and sharing stories of their collaborative processes. Schools, and other authors and artists, will discover ways to explore collaborations of their own. Artwork created for the book will be on display, including large-scale pieces such as Greer’s illustrative design five-foot elephant and Skyberg’s five foot-by-eight foot animal fabric murals.
