她是《纽约时报》畅销童书榜单上的长销作者，获得了2次凯迪克银奖，2次苏斯博士银奖，《纽约时报》最佳插画奖，《波士顿环球报》最佳绘本奖等诸多殊荣。但创作绘本并不是Laura的第一份工作。她的绘本大多是采用了模切技术的概念绘本，总是充满惊喜，让人眼前一亮。在成为绘本作家和插画师之前，她在电视台工作了十多年，担任动画师、设计师、编辑、制片人等角色，为NBC（国家广播公司）和ABC（美国广播公司）制作了不少节目开场动画和特别的视频内容，也曾因此荣获过艾美奖。

Laura热爱电视行业。当她成为一名母亲之后，很快发现，高强度的工作无法让她实现陪伴孩子成长的心愿。艰难的抉择之后，她选择离开，开始创作自己的绘本。她的丈夫、音乐人Chris Seeger来自一个音乐之家。丈夫的叔叔Pete Seeger是非常著名的美国民谣歌手。Laura想把一些民谣变成绘本，得到家人的支持，于是有了她的第一本绘本，和Pete Seeger合作的民谣绘本《I Had A Rooster》（《我曾有一只公鸡》）。

慢慢地，她又了越来越多自己的作品。她坦言，能够创作出这么多优秀的作品，一方面和遇到的很棒的编辑有关，另一方面，她无时不刻都会用笔记本记录下自己的灵感。而从她有记忆开始，自己就一直在画画，编故事，很早就开始制作自己的“绘本”。

本期节目，我们邀请了老朋友Mac Barnett聊一聊他的新书《What is Love?》。Mac刚刚升级做爸爸不久，这个新身份对他创作童书有影响吗？受什么启发写了《What is Love？》？他记忆中被爱的体验是什么样的？更多精彩内容请收听本期节目吧！

Jessie Oliveros is the author of the Golden Kite Award picture book The Remember Balloons. The heartwarming story likens memories to helium-filled balloons and explains in a tender way how as a person ages, they sometimes lose their memories just like how balloons would slip away from their hands. As you will hear in the interview, the book is inspired by Jessie's grandfather who had Alzheimer's disease. We hope you will be moved just as we were as Jessie shares her story behind creating this story of loss but also of hope.
