Walking and Talking With . . . Tim Federle!
Steve Sheinkin returns once more to write up and illustrate his “Walking and Talking” series. As with other posts in the series, Steve will have a conversation with an author or illustrator and then pluck out and bring to life the parts that really define something about the process. Part of the reason I love these is that Steve’s such a marvelous editor. He knows how to get to the heart of a conversation. And this week’s subject is near and dear to me. Behold all that is Tim Federle!
Thanks to Steve for allowing me to showcase his work. For previous entries in the “Walking and Talking” series, please be sure to check out the following:
