Let's Talk Illustrators #239: Vivienne Chang & Eugenia Yoh

It was such a pleasure talking to besties and debut author-illustrator team Vivienne Chang & Eugenia Yoh about their picture book This Is Not My Home. This is not your conventional children's book duo, as the two conceived of the story and worked on the entire book together every step of the way. And you're about to see why! Enjoy our chat about this uniquely special book!

Let's Talk Illustrators #238: Dinara Mirtalipova

Woven of the World by Katey Howes and Dinara Mirtalipova is a beautiful, deeply moving meditation on the interconnectedness of people. I got a chance to talk to Dinara about how she created the illustrations,  which do visual justice to the multifaceted tradition of weaving AND just so happen to have been printed with a fifth color (which you know is my jam). I hope you enjoy some insight into this beautifully woven tale!
