Caldecott Medalist, Sophie Blackall stops by the pod to talk about two of my daughter’s favorite children book characters … Ivy and Bean. Sophie is one of the most interesting artists working. Her books and her art move me and continue to bring my family closer together.

Sophie is a special person and this conversation was such an honor.

Check out the latest Ivy + Bean book: One Big Happy Family and her latest picture book Hello Lighthouse.
