Screen to Page with Rebekah Piatte

How does a story change when it moves from screen to page?

This interactive program begins with a screening of the animated short “Andy: A Dog’s Tale.” With no spoken words to guide the way, audiences are invited to interpret the story through movement, expression, and emotion. After the screening, children’s book editor Rebekah Lovato Piatte and a volunteer from Canine Companions will share how the film was adapted into a book, exploring how illustrations, pacing, page turns, and language shape a narrative. Following the discussion, children will step into the role of author through a hands-on storyboard activity, creating their own version of Andy’s journey and learning how to build a story from images.
