ME: Where do you like to write – inside, outside, special room, laptop, pen and paper? You’ve got to get out there and meet ‘your tribe’ and lift each other up! You can’t write in isolation and expect to get anywhere. REBECCA: That networking is as important as writing. ME: What do you know now that you wish you knew when you first started writing? REBECCA: There were lots but the ones that stand out from when I was of picture book reading age are James Marshall of the George and Martha stories, Dr Seuss, Garth Williams, Tasha Tudor, and Esther and Eloise Wilkin. ME: Who were your favorite authors/illustrators when you were a child? Rebecca, I am so very happy to welcome you to Picture Books Help Kids Soar! Her fourth book just launched, CAPTAIN BLING’S CHRISTMAS PLUNDER (Albert Whitman). Her other books include MOTOR GOOSE (Feiwel & Friends, 2017)…which I just reviewed yesterday on Perfect Picture Book Friday, IT’S RAINING BATS AND FROGS (Feiwel and Friends, 2015), and THERE WAS A WEE LASSIE WHO SWALLOWED A MIDGIE (Floris Picture Kelpies, 2014). Rebecca Colby is a children’s picture book author, poet, and screenwriter. And I’m so thrilled to finally get a chance to have her visit here. I’ve known our Will Write for Cookies guest for just about as long as I’ve been active in kidlitland. INSIGHT – INSPIRATION – INFORMATION FOR WRITERS TODAY’S GUEST
