‘Internally, I’m about 12’ Lucy Knisley Visits The Yarn

April 16, 2022 by Travis Jonker   Leave a Comment

Travis: It was a pleasure to talk with one of my all-time favorite creators, Lucy Knisley, for the latest episode of The Yarn.

Lucy takes us behind the scenes of her middle grade graphic novels Apple Crush (out next month) and Stepping Stones, and we hit a lot of other topics along the way.

We hope you enjoy this episode:
