My Kirkus Q&A with Michele Wood
September 29th, 2016 by jules
“One of the things I am looking at as an artist is: How do I tell the truth? How do I inform the truth of the story so that you may not turn away? The truth is not always pretty.”
Over at Kirkus today, I talk to Coretta Scott King Award-winning illustrator Michele Wood, quoted and pictured here, about Like a Bird: The Art of the American Slave Song, released this month from Millbrook/Lerner.
That Q&A is here this morning, and next week here at 7-Imp I’ll follow up with some paintings from the book.
