Loren Long's cover illustration for If I Was the Sunshine just glows. I’m convinced he somehow infused his art with actual sunshine. You can almost feel the warmth coming off of it.
I think If I Was the Sunshine is my most difficult book to articulate (and if you ask Loren, probably the most difficult to illustrate).
Story is not necessarily a great big remarkable thing. Stories can be quiet. Stories can be small. Sometimes, the best stories are the ones you find while you’re waiting for a great big remarkable thing to happen.
Julie Fogliano’s text is playful and profoundly warm. It was a beautiful challenging puzzle for me, the illustrator, to solve.
For If I Was the Sunshine's cover, I mostly wanted to invoke the uplifting feeling of connection in Julie’s eloquent poem.
I tried to convey the connection of parent and child to others and to the world around them.
Story is something that starts with a writer at a desk and an illustrator at a table. But it becomes a thing that really LIVES when it finds itself in the hands of a child and someone who loves that child.
