Walking and Talking with . . . Deborah Wiles!

September 14, 2015 by Betsy Bird   2 comments

I’m happy to say that Steve Sheinkin’s “Walking and Talking” series is back in full swing. For those of you unaware of the Sibert winner’s predilection for drawing his conversations with his fellow literary luminaries, this is a bit of a treat. And for me, to see David Levithan fully drawn . . . well that’s just the icing on the cake, isn’t it?  Here is the latest.

Once again I cannot help but thank Steve for creating this series and allowing me to post it on this site.

Previous editions of this series include:

  • Walking and Talking with John Corey Whaley
  • Walking and Talking with Jenni Holm
  • Walking and Talking with Gene Luen Yang
  • Walking and Talking with Laura Vaccaro Seeger
  • Walking and Talking with Andrew Smith

    Hi Betsy,

    Interesting to read this comic today, after a dinner with Deborah earlier this month. I don’t, of course, know when the comic was written, but her “I write for the 10 year old me” caught my eye. In Heavy Medal’s discussions of her book, some questioned the voice/space she gave to Raymond (he’s an African American character in REVOLUTION). Fumbling around at the moment, trying to put thoughts into words, but seems that perhaps, writing for the ten year old her may be why Raymond didn’t ring true. My account of dinner is here: http://americanindiansinchildrensliterature.blogspot.com/2015/09/deborah-wiles-debbie-reese-and-choosing.html
