Legacy Interviews
The SCBWI Impact and Legacy Fund is dedicated to preserving the deep, storied history of our children’s book community. We are so proud to collect and curate legacy interviews with modern masters of the craft of children’s book creation. These interviews are available as a resource to the entire children’s book community. No SCBWI membership required.

Her work has received many awards including the Caldecott Medal and the Golden Kite, among others. She has been called the Hans Christian Anderson of America. In this interview, she focuses on the art and craft of creating picture books, and includes a special reading of her Caldecott-winning book Owl Moon.
