Let's Talk Illustrators #252: Inga Dagilė

I was completely blown away by The Pebble, written by Marius Marcinkevičius, illustrated by Inga Dagilė, and translated by Jura Avizienis. This tough story is set against a backdrop of the Holocaust, and it was an honor talking to Inga about how she carefully crafted the illustrations to be accessible and historically accurate. Please enjoy this peek at her process.
