Let's Talk Illustrators #367: Lidia Branković
I'm excited to be back with a whole new batch of interviews! Today I'm sharing a peek into the process of making the book Circus of Shadows by Lidia Branković! This enigmatic book takes a closer look at the inner-workings of the subconscious, and it was a pleasure to pick Lidia's brain about it. Enjoy taking a closer look at this book!

Annual LTPB Diversity Audit: June 2024 - May 2025
Below are the results from my annual diversity audit. As a reminder, I perform this audit to examine how I represent BIPOC creators on this site. As always, a lot of work to do. Here are this year's results, and you can see previous years' diversity audits here.

Gone Fishing
I'm taking the next few weeks off to attend some conferences (come say hello if you'll be at Children's Institute or the American Library Association's Annual conference!), but I'll be back first thing in July. Until then, I recommend checking out all the favorites lists, which are all updated as I find books to add to them. Have a great few weeks, and see you in July!
