Victoria Jamieson and Roller Girl
March 5th, 2015 by jules
“The issue of friendships ending was certainly central for me, and it was the concept I was most interested in exploring in the book. Although the details of the story are different, the heart of the issue—the pain of a slipping friendship—was from my own experience.”
Over at Kirkus today, I have a back-and-forth with author-illustrator Victoria Jamieson, pictured here, about her first graphic novel for children, Roller Girl, which will be on shelves next week — and which is really good.
That link is here.
Next week, I’ll have some art from the book, as well as some early sketches and such.
Until tomorrow …
