Multiple perspectives on picture-book creation

Picture Book Look is my favorite kid-lit podcast. Its unique format provides an inside perspective on the books’ creation—from writers, illustrators, agents, and/or editors. Always fun and lively, these quick conversations dive deep and are a great learning tool.
