Astrid Sheckels continues the wit and whimsy of childhood through her marvelous and magnificent illustrations and storytelling.
You might recognize her from the Hector Fox and Friends series or Sea Dog and Sea Dog Rescue, and she created the gorgeous cover and interior illustrations for Beyond Mulberry Glen by Millie Florence.
Today we’re chatting about her new book, Flora and the Jazzers, which Kirkus called “sumptuously illustrated” in their starred review and I couldn’t agree more. This jazz-age Cinderella story starring a ferret named Flora and set in a 1920s New York hotel is going to blow you away, I just know it.
Astrid is a New Englander who loves to paint animals in clothes, so clearly she is a woman after my own heart, and I just know you’ll fall in love with her too.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- How childhood family read-alouds instilled a love for stories in Astrid
- The way one of Astrid’s earliest childhood drawings became the inspiration for Flora
- Why a sketchbook is an ideal tool for budding creatives
