Author-illustrator Lizi Boyd dropped by to chat with me about Flashlight, Matteo, her illustrations, nature, and wordless books. I wrote the words in red, and she wrote the words in black. Thank you, Lizi!

Nature is the magic and wonder that we are all a part of. It is our second skin.
When I was in elementary school I began to read and started to draw sometimes to distraction.
Wordless pictures books ask their readers to ‘listen’ to what they see, that in itself is a storytelling skill. A wordless picture book becomes the interpretation and story of its reader.
Mr. Schu you should have asked me if I’d ever played flashlight tag? And I did in the same woods that are in the book. It is so fun to hid in the dark behind trees. Did you play flashlight tag?
Borrow Flashlight from your school or public library. Whenever possible, please support independent bookshops.
Love the artwork . . . thanks for highlighting . . .
ReplyDeleteThis book is so beautifully executed and the trailer totally does it justice. Lizi, I LOVE this:
