Let's Talk Illustrators #197: Laura Vaccaro Seeger

I feel so lucky that I caught up with author-illustrator Laura Vaccaro Seeger to talk about her illustration and story process for Red. Red is the much-anticipated (but totally unexpected!) follow up to Green (2012) and Blue (2018) which both explore emotions through their respective color. Red tackles more fiery emotions, like anger and passion, and it was an honor talking to Laura about this book. Enjoy our conversation!
