About this episode
Author/Illustrator and educator, Lisa Brown, talks with Giuseppe Castellano about myriad illustrators from Edward Gorey and Ed Emberley to Kaylani Juanita and Joohee Yoon; how one tweet led to a dream job with the New York Times Book Review (although Twitter is mostly a “nest of vipers”); and why she thinks contemporary children’s book illustration is going through a revolution. Here are a few of the illustrators we mentioned: Syd Hoff , Quentin Blake , Ivan Brunetti , Paul Rand , Ken Pak , Jon Klassen , Christian Robinson , Yuyi Morales , Isabelle Arsenault , Aaron Becker , and Catia Chien .
