Lovely to chat with @NPR yesterday - talking about how we made a 'picture book' that has perhaps the most words ever in it and why it took 7 years to do ..

8 minute listen with @OliverJeffers and @Candlewick @WalkerBooksUK @nprbooks
that's a lovely student .. and so happy you now have your own ghost and puddle !
After only three days of class, a student went to the National Book Festival, found the children's book author I said I was sad to miss (we couldn't go this year), and did this ... 😭😭🥰

An absolutely dream event tonight listening to @OliverJeffers and @samwinston_ talk to @DapsDraws about their beautiful new book THE DICTIONARY STORY and their previous work A CHILD OF BOOKS! a fascinating conversation but my main takeaway was that we need to say “acorn” more.
