    Hi Mr.Winner, that was such fun and interesting interview. I just set at my drawing table, sipping my coffee and listening. I love Christian's art! And I think you covered sime interesting issues thst really spoke to me, like being critical toward his work and when to let go and move on to another project... also it's so awesome that the bus book was actually based on Christian's own childhood experience! I thought that kind of coloration between illustrator and writer was truly unique.

      So glad you enjoyed the listen, Yifat! I also loved Christian's approach to making art, his perspective on being critical, and also how he makes art to please himself first. He's an incredible talent and children's publishing is blessed to have him.
