A library should be a kind of paradise, don’t you agree? Author and illustrator Barbara Cooney certainly thought so.
Barbara Cooney was an extraordinary author and illustrator of over 100 children’s books with stories that span the world, from the shores of Greece to the mountains of Appalachia. The more I learned about Barbara, the more I wanted to tell the story of this beautiful artist who, in every aspect of her life-from raising four children to traveling to gardening to winning awards for her illustrations-was committed to capturing the beauty in (and for!) the world.
Because Barbara: Barbara Cooney Paints Her World has been nearly six years in the making. Today, I want to take you behind the scenes and introduce you to the team that made it happen, from the very first draft to the final, beautiful book you’ll hold in your hands.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
The many drafts, revisions, critiques, and edits that brought me to the throughline of Barbara’s wonderfully full and creative life
How the art team took on the daunting task of styling and illustrating the book to echo Barbara’s style without directly imitating it
How sound design and animation bring the audio and video books to life

Wow! How beautiful! I did not know how many details are needed to have a book, not only written, but also published. So interesting to know about! And your energy is contagious! I love books and your channel and information just fell from heaven as a blessing into my hands. I am not a mother, but a teacher who wants a reading revival in all students of my beloved Costa Rica. Thank you so much for everything you do, the passion you have for books, and sharing that passion with us! God bless you! ❤🇨🇷🇺🇸😃
