Listen to This: Jon Klassen Interviewed on the CBC
I wasn’t planning on coming back from holiday blogging hiatus until Monday, but then I listened to this fascinating 22 minute interview with reigning Caldecott Medalist Jon Klassen on CBC Radio. My plans proceeded to take off out the window. Influences, upcoming books, the Caldecott experience – it’s a great discussion.
