I can't get enuf on their process, tips for writers on working with artists & a peek into their imaginative world. Then, Lynne's name & her titles are appreciated by me - especially the Ruby Valentine books & her rhyming story book with one of my favorite children's poets Mary Ann Hoberman - The TWO SILLIES. Thank you for finding her in Phoenix (or was it another AZ city?) & since I have relatives in AZ, perhaps I will be able to stumble upon one of her bookstore presenations some day! This is a gift post to us all.<br />And Happy Holidays!<br />~ j a n jan godown anninohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00091996699597066230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1295379888006925064.post-66321057453080208112014-11-28T16:11:24.612-05:002014-11-28T16:11:24.612-05:00Kathy: How amazing that you met and interviewed Ly...Kathy: How amazing that you met and interviewed Lynne Avril.

I was especially surprised with the amount of work that needs to go into the Amelia Bedelia books -- I guess like many people, I would at first think older book = less work for the illustrator. How wrong that is!Patricia Tohthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06878871084215411303noreply@blogger.com
