Great post! You could do a book on the illustrated book-making process.

Best of luck with the book, and happy pub date when it comes!

I love these insights! Especially the "world building": I really love it when a picture book offers a bit of hidden narrative in this way, hinting at the broader lives of the characters.

It is a bunch of extra work, but it is worth it in the long run :)

I want to start this thing of making book and graphic novels, so I'm obsessed about it and it was really fun to know how a professional does it!
