As Gerda Märtens describes the creation of a picture book, text is at the core; but for an illustrator, there’s both expressive freedom and a sense of responsibility, considering how much space there is to work with.
In this episode, she’s sharing more about what goes into the making of a book. Learn about:
🎨 the essential, foundational things we all gain from children’s literature
🎨 how Italy has influenced her work as an illustrator and author in a major way
🎨 Estonia’s role as a guest of honour at this year’s Bologna Children’s Book Fair
🎨 and much more!
