Let's Talk Illustrators #169: Julia Kuo

I am so pleased to share my conversation with Julia Kuo today! Julia is the illustrator I Dream of Popo, written by Livia Blackburne, and even if you haven't had the exact same experiences as the characters, it's easy to connect with this story right now. In a time when everyone is forced to be socially distant, this book helps readers find ways of connecting with loved ones across long distances and staying positive. Enjoy our chat!
