Mac Barnett (Ep. 81)

Mac Barnett (@MacBarnett), author of Telephone (@ChronicleKids) and other bestsellers including Billy Twitters and His Blue Whale Problem, Oh No! (Or How My Science Project Destroyed the World), Extra Yarn, Battle Bunny, and the Brixton Brothers series, stops by to talk about how picture book writing is like playwriting, his time on the TEDx stage, and how his time as a summer camp counselor to a group of 4-yr-olds informed his skill at storytelling.

    This was such a great discussion! I got another perspective on my manuscripts from your discussion about the three levels of interaction and the theatre of reading a picture book. Also loved the thoughts on the writer-illustrator collaboration! Thank you.
