This weekly podcast invites you inside the minds and processes of kidlit history book creators, from idea to publication. Join the conversation each Wednesday!

In episode two, Selene chats with the awesome illustrator Jenn Harney about her process illustrating nonfiction as opposed to fiction, working within historical constraints, and how unnerving it was to draw George Washington--a man everyone sees every day.

Things hit a technical snag when Jenn's video somehow did not appear in the finished product. Still, thankfully, her audio was crystal clear because, wow, this conversation between the author and illustrator of a book is intense, informative and entertaining!
