The 99th annual Children’s Book Week – April 30th to May 6th
Frederick by Leo Lionni was my favorite picture book.
I loved the cut out shapes and textures and somehow related to Frederick before I knew I was an artist.
I believe that a good children’s book should appeal to all people who have not completely lost their original joy and wonder in life. The fact is that I don’t make books for children at all. I make them for that part of us, of myself and of my friends, which has never changed, which is still a child.
