Abstract	When the global pandemic propelled the world into lockdown, artists of all kinds--musicians, writers, poets, painters, and dancers--began sharing art and their artistic processes from their homes and studios. This included children's book authors and illustrators who sought out new ways to maintain connections virtually with young readers (Quattlebaum, 2020). Using social media and videoconferencing platforms, they connected virtually from their own homes with their audiences, offering read-alouds from living room couches, drawing tutorials from kitchen tables and writing lessons from grassy backyards and conducting interactive question-and-answer sessions from bedrooms-turned-studios. In this article, the authors aim to theorize the author/illustrator visits with Raúl the Third and Sara Varon, working, more specifically, to explore the unique affordances of conducting virtual visits from home and studio spaces. Descriptions of the Zoom visits where the authors/illustrators shared their artwork with children and implications for building the paratextual threshold through virtual visits are included. (ERIC).
