In this episode we’re looking at working in a very popular area, children’s books - from both the commissioner and artist sides. Our guests dig into how an art director works with an illustrator, what’s good to have in a children’s book portfolio, what the book making process is, promoting the book and more.

Taking part are two award winners: Jane Buckley, Senior Art Director of children’s books at Simon & Schuster, and illustrator Chanté Timothy, whose latest book Daddy Do My Hair: Deji's Haircut is now published.

Hosted by Rachel Emily Taylor, artist, writer and BA Course Leader at Camberwell College of Art, this episode forms part of the Illustration for Children Season of Inside Illustration, a bi-annual suite of content from the Association of Illustrators.
