In this special episode, our host Shawna JC Tenney takes the guest seat to teach us how she wrote, illustrated and sold her first picture book Brunhilda’s Backwards Day.
Chris Oatley, our Executive Producer, interviews Shawna about:
- The amazing, emotional power of picture books.
- Why you might turn down paid work for time on your personal project.
- How Shawna’s book inspired more artistic growth than years of professional work.
- How she draws story ideas from her hilarious childhood (Shawna actually sings during this part!)
- Why grown-up kids make great picture book creators.
