screen shot of the Shelf Awareness interview with illustrator R.W. (Bob) Alley


In this Shelf Awareness interview with illustrator R.W. (Bob) Alley, the acclaimed illustrator is asked, Why make picture books?

Bob's answer:

“I think all children need places to go that they can control in their own time and in their own way. This is the special thing about a book. Especially an illustrated book. If you've ever watched a child holding a book on their lap, their face close to the page, concentrating hard, then you know exactly why making picture books is so important and so rewarding.”

Illustrate, Translate, and Write On,
