This week we’re speaking to award-winning writer and illustrator, Jackie Morris.
Over her career Jackie has written and illustrated over 40 books. In 2019 she won the CLIP Kate Greenaway Medal and The Books are My Bag Readers Award for the absolutely stunning book, The Lost Words. It is a staple in every bookshop and appeals to both adults and children alike.
Told off as a child for drawing and dreaming, she now has the last laugh as she gets to do both every day. Her work has been translated into over fourteen languages and has been adapted for stage, film and set to music. A huge supporter of independent bookshops, it’s fantastic to have her as a guest today.
The podcast is produced and presented by the team at Mostly Books. Find us on Twitter @mostlyreading & Instagram @mostlybooks_shop. Edited by Nick Short @alongstoryshorter. Feather, Leaf, Bark & Stone is published in the UK by Unbound and Something About a Bear is published in the UK by Otter-Barry Books.
