Update: A video of our chat is now available!
On March 22, from 7 PM to 8:30 PM (Pacific Time), I’ll be part of this fun panel discussion: Writing and Illustrating Kids’ Books: The Inside Story.
For all the details, check out the event page on the Vancouver Public Library website. But here’s the impressive list of panelists:
- Catarina Oliveira, illustrator of Small But Mighty: Why Earth’s Tiny Creatures Matter and Luna Finds Love Everywhere.
- Margriet Ruurs, author of The Elephant Keeper and Birthdays Around the World.
- Mark David Smith, author of The Deepest Dig and The Weird Sisters: A Note, A Goat, and a Casserole.
- Cristy Watson, author of Living Rough and Cutter Boy.
- And I’ll be a panelist too, of course, bringing my perspective as an author and illustrator of kids comics.
- And the whole thing will be hosted by accomplished author Ellen Schwartz, author of The Princess Dolls and Stealing Home.
Hope to see you there!
And big thanks to CWILL-BC and the VPL for organizing this event!
