White Spring ","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":2614,"description":"I have a theory that if I were to ask a hundred of today’s children’s book authors and illustrators to name a book that had a profound impact on them, I bet an unusually large number of those authors and illustrators would mention the work of E.B. White.\n\nI cannot count the number of times I’ve heard authors say that E.B. White’s books have made such a huge difference in their lives and writing.\n\nI’m a big E.B. White fan myself, and while I love Charlotte’s Web and Stuart Little, my absolute favorite is The Trumpet of the Swan.\n\nAnd that’s what we’re reading this spring in RAR Premium for our Family Book Club. Plus, we’re going to look closely at first-lines (E.B. White was a master of this) for a WOW: Writer’s on Writing Event.\n\nIt’s going to be quite the fabulous E.B. White spring here at RAR! \n \nSo today, we’re revisiting an episode from 2017 with children’s book illustrator Melissa Sweet discussing her children’s biography of E.B. White, called Some Writer.\n\nIn this episode, you’ll hear: \nHow each story informs Melissa’s process of creating mixed media illustrations\nHow a family of crafters and makers inspired Melissa to become an artist\nHow Melissa’s research into E.B. White’s work led to the visuals for Some Writer \n\nLearn more about Sarah Mackenzie:\nRead Aloud Revival\nWaxwing Books\nSubscribe to the Newsletter\n\nMentioned in This Episode:\nRAR #202: For Kids Who Don't Like Sad Stories\n\nBooks Mentioned in This Episode:\n\nCharlotte’s Web\nStuart Little \nThe Trumpet of the Swan\nSome Writer\nA Boy, A Mouse, and a Spider\nThe Baby Bear Series\nThe Pinky and Rex Series\nThe Boy Who Drew Birds\nBrave Girl\nBalloons Over Broadway\nA Splash of Red\nYou Nest Here with Me\nThe Right Word\nA River of Words","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/agwQumFINEiJWAmvX26eRhbGEn4SwwTFz-MFbqH_FUA/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS83YjAw/MDEzMzQzOTdjZTE2/YzZmYzNjZGY1ZWFk/YmE4NC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
