Let's Talk Illustrators #320: Klara Bartilsson

I got a chance to catch Klara Bartilsson to chat about her illustration process for The Expedition, written by Tuvalisa Rangström and translated by Saskia Vogel. This is an incredibly unique book with a lovely message, and it was such a pleasure getting to pick Klara's brain about it. Enjoy the read!
