All right, folks. You know the drill. First off, you know that I am not a person who goes all goopy and dewy-eyed at picture books I deem “meaningful”. Doesn’t mean some of them don’t appeal to me. I just have a low goop tolerance. You know who doesn’t let goop collect on her a jot, though? Victoria Stapleton over at Little, Brown. And when she’s in conversation with one of her authors or illustrators, it’s worth a listen.
Today we’re getting a conversation between Victoria and the illustrious Eliza Wheeler. And there’s nothing goopy about that.
Many thanks to Victoria, Eliza and Little, Brown for the interview.
Thank you for an informative and fascinating discussion of how the visual artist “sees” portraying emotion and changes in a child’s perception and feelings. I look forward to reading When You Are Brave.
