Picture Book Author Ciao, Writers, What are Page Turns? A Page Turn are sentence or sentences (the set-up) towards the end of the right page that makes the reader want to ‘turn the page’ quickly to find out the answer (the reveal) on the next page. For example: Page 14 The kite flies higher and higher. The storm blows stronger and stronger. The string …. Page 15 Snaps! “My kite!” shouts the boy. Now, choose some of your favorite picture books. Read through them. See if you can find any Page Turns. A Page Turn builds the suspense, a feeling of surprise, a need to know. They are super fun to write and super effective! Happy Writing! See you next time. Cheers, 😊 Phyllis
