First, congratulations on the book!! Agree with all of your sources for inspiration and I would add music. Both the feeling and sometimes the lyrics are moving.
Thanks so much. Listening to music is great idea. I remember doing an exercise around drawing feelings when listening to different music. It really influenced my mark making. Also one of my favorite picture books is ‘sometimes you have to be a little bit naughty’, which is the song illustrated 😊
These are great tips. I find I do similar things as a writer so I’m sure they’ll be helpful for me as an illustrator too. Congratulations on the book deal!

That’s great to hear! And thanks so much.
Thanks so much Jen. The school visits are so much fun. 😀

Congrats on your book, Carla! And I love seeing all of your in person reading photos. Those kids dressing up are great!
