Look, I don’t want you to think I’m easy or anything. “Old Betsy Bird,” you’d say. “She’ll post pretty much any kind of video on her site”. Not true, sez I! I just like what I like. And what I like is process. Getting into the heads of the creators of some of my favorite books. So it is that I get to debut today’s Book Chat with illustrator/author Deborah Marcero. Her latest title My Heart Is a Compass is coming out this Tuesday.
Enjoy!
Thank you for posting such an informative video. I look forward to reading this book.
This video was delightful. I, too, will be on the lookout for My Heart is a Compass. I enjoyed learning that the beautiful colors in old maps inspired the color choices used in the illustrations. What a excellent example of how we can use imagination to transform a visual stimulus into a new creation.
