And I’m also reading The Creativity Project: An Awesometastic Story Collection. I’m re-reading The Trumpet of the Swan by E.B. I read it again recently, and it is still magic. That book was magic when I first read it as a kid. I would love to read Charlotte’s Web by E.B. What books would you most like to read again for the first time? Some of my favorite picture books as a kid were Imogene’s Antlers by David Small and Henry’s Awful Mistake by Robert Quackenbush. What did you like to read when you were a kid? Gosh, this is a tough one! There are quite a few newly published picture books that I love, but I think the one that I connect with most is Windows, by Julia Denos and E.B. What is your favorite picture book that has come out in the past year or so?
This book holds an extra special place in my heart because it was inspired by my own Nana who I used to visit in NYC every summer as a child. I try not to choose favorites when it comes to the books I make, but I will bend the rules and say Nana in the City, for both writing and illustrating.
