interdisciplinary picture books

I remember in a Writer’s Craft course in grade 11, we wrote poems, and then passed them along to an art class to have them illustrate our work. They were not given any context or insight about the poems, so their illustrations reflected how they read/connected to them personally. I remember writing a very dramatic sonnet called “Wicked White Walls” and thought I was so deep and reflective. Our teacher compiled everything together and had a book printed and bound for our entire class. (As an (almost) educator, I look back at this now and can appreciate all of this extra time and effort so much more than I did at the time as a student. Yay for passionate educators.)  I think creating a picture book in this same manner would be a really interesting project. Has anyone had any success doing something like this, or with interdisciplinary connections in general??
