Ep 60: Kerry Hyndman wins the Blue Peter Book Award & shares the story about Survivors & her journey

Kerry Hyndman has just won the Blue Peter Book Award for 'best book with facts.'The London based illustrator has brought to life David Long's 'Survivors: Extraordinary tales from the wild and beyond' with her stunning full colour illustrations for Faber & Faber. I catch up with Kerry to talk about the experience of bringing to life such an original children's book with often graphic tales of human endurance.With a narrative so powerful and evocative that the imagination of young people will likely be consumed by larger than life stories, how did Kerry tackle such a creative brief with her predominantly digital style of image making? Kerry shares an encouraging tale of arriving in the world of illustration via a fine art degree, working with publishers Faber & Faber and discusses her map illustration work.
