Watercress Part 1: Colby talks to Author Andrea Wang

COLBY: Watercress by Andrea Wang and Jason Chin took my breath away. The only thing I could do after I finished reading it, was read it again. And again. And again. At the end of the year, I expect to see this book on just about every end of the year ‘best books’ list. It’s just that good.
I loved getting the chance to talk to author Andrea Wang about the book. You can listen to our conversation in the episode below. My co-host Travis Jonker, will be here later this week sharing his conversation with Watercress illustrator Jason Chin. I can’t wait to hear what Jason had to say about creating the art for this book.
