Let's Talk Illustrators #148: Ellen Rooney

I was lucky enough to get a chance to chat with Ellen Rooney about her illustration technique for Grandmother School, written by Rina Singh. Ellen has a lot of projects out this year, so it was fascinating to talk about how her process depends on the manuscript and to get a closer look at how she customizes each new book. I hope you enjoy our conversation!

Let's Talk Illustrators #141: Akiko Miyakoshi

It was such an honor to chat with Akiko Miyakoshi about I Dream of a Journey. Akiko's striking charcoal illustrations are instantly recognizable across her books, so I was particularly glad to catch her as she plays with a new medium for this dreamy story. Enjoy the read!
