I recently broke out my rusty Spanish to talk to Yolanda Mosquera, illustrator of The Silence of Water, written by José Saramago and translated by Margaret Jull Costa. We caught up on this powerful book, as well as finding a unique voice and the power of believing in your own creativity. Check out our chat below!

Let's Talk Illustrators #261: Ana Matsusaki
As someone who essentially collects illustrator interviews (and literally collects illustrated children's books), it's only natural that I'd want to talk to debut author-illustrator Ana Matsusaki about her book The Collector of Heads, translated by Bruna Dantas Lobato! Enjoy a peek behind the curtain of this gorgeous picture book debut!
