Seuss is wild and imaginative! It made me realize that a story can be delivered in many ways. Seuss were my earliest creative influences even though I don’t illustrate like any of them! Each are completely unique: Carle’s is graphic and minimalistic, Fujikawa’s is soft and rendered, and Dr. Who are your creative influences – in books, art, or any other media?Įric Carle, Gyo Fujikawa, and Dr. Children see the preciousness of things we grown-ups sometimes overlook… and I bring this character to life through Penguin. A child has an innate love for things and a need to connect, even if they are inanimate. I like to capture the innocence of childhood, when anything and everything can be your friend. What aspects of childhood do you like to capture in your art and writing? She got her start in novelty/board books and has recently branched out into character-drive picture books with great success. She is a “prolific” author/illustrator and has published over 200 books!! She has 6 new books coming out in the next two years. She has a generous, caring spirit which comes shining through in her Penguin books. I met Salina through the Verla Kay Blueboards (now SCBWI boards) where she is an active member. Today I am so excited to share my interview with Salina Yoon. Yesterday I reviewed the heart-warming Penguin series.
