ACTION! HOW MOVIES BEGAN

Action!: How Movies Began Hardcover – Picture Book, August 23, 2022 by Meghan McCarthy (Author, Illustrator) Movies take us on adventures, introduce us to new worlds, and make us feel, but how did they start? In her trademark easy-to-follow narrative voice, this fact-filled picture book tells the story of the evolution of movies and the people who worked hard to create them—both on-screen and behind the scenes.
