April 30, 2021 by Travis Jonker   Leave a Comment

Travis: Watercress is such an excellent picture book, Colby and I decided to go for a two-parter. In the last episode, he talked with author Andrea Wang. Today is my chat with illustrator Jason Chin.

In this episode, Jason talks about his decision to illustrate Andrea’s story, and his journey to bring the book to life.

We hope you enjoy the episode:
