Description

Leonard S. Marcus (au). A picture book is a dialogue between two worlds: the world of images & the world of words. This is a book of conversations about that dialogue. In 14 interviews, Marcus sparks thoughtful, personal, & often humorous discussion with artists & writers who have made lasting contributions to the illustrated literature of childhood. Readers of this spirited collection will be rewarded with an appreciation of the hidden artistry & complex legacies that inform & animate the child-sized blocks of type & brilliant colors of a unique genre. The conversations here present an exciting foray into the creative process. Along the way, these picture book makers reveal their clear-sighted approaches, often hard-won, to life, art, & childhood. Illustrations.
