Society of Illustrators 2018 READING PICTURES

2018 READING PICTURES: The Artist’s Voice and Vocabulary in Picture Books

What a unique and utterly fun event! I was thrilled to see so many familiar faces and meet some new friends, too. And of course, what a treat to share the stage with the fabulous Susan Roth and John Parra. Much thanks to Cecilia Yung, Laurent Lynn, and Isabelle Warren Lynch for organizing an amazing event!
