“Picture books are healing in a way, and they help kids deal with the world. And they’re funny and they’re entertaining and they’re all the things that good art should be.” Picture book author/illustrator Stephen Savage (Where's Walrus and Penguin?) recently sat down with us to talk about his career and why he thinks picture books are so powerful. We are so inspired by what he had to say! You can listen to his full interview in our latest podcast episode: The Power of Picture Books.
The episode also features editor Liza Baker, who is our resident picture book expert here at Scholastic. She shares some of her favorite books and tips for parents who are beginning to read with their little ones.
We hope you enjoy the episode! And if you haevn't already, subscribe to our Scholastic Reads podcast for more content around the joy and power of reading.
