Today I'm super excited to share my conversation with up-and coming-illustrator Tania Yakunova! Tania's debut comes in the form of Dr. Rekha S. Rajan's super fun and interactive board book series This Is Music: Horns and This Is Music: Drums, and it was a (horn) blast talking to Tania about her research for the project and (drumroll, please)...what they have coming next for the series!

Latin American Artists in Conversation
On September 22, The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art hosted New York-based publisher Tapioca Stories for a conversation with their award-winning Latin American authors and illustrators Andrés Sandoval, Mariana Alcántara, and Guilherme Karsten. If these names sound familiar to you, it's because I have interviewed each of them here on Let's Talk Picture Books (you can see those links at the bottom of this post), and I'm so excited to host the official summary of the event here. If you'd like to watch the event as it was recorded in Spanish, scroll all the way down and you'll find a YouTube video you can click on. Let's talk Latin American artists!
