Welcome to the Children’s Book Podcast. I’m Matthew.   I am a teacher, a librarian, and a fan of kids. And today I want to introduce you to a podcast where kids ask authors their burning questions about books and how they’re made. The show is hosted by my friend Grace. She’s an author, an illustrator, a podcaster, a reader, and, of course, a fan of kids, too!   Kids Ask Authors (subscribe here!) is  a weekly 5-10 minute podcast where children’s book author/illustrator Grace Lin and a guest author answer one question from a child reader.  Most episodes end with a book review, poem, short story or a joke by kids! It’s a terrific show for student writers and those helping them on their journey!   The episode we’re sharing today is with author and illustrator Remy Lai, whose books include Pie in the Sky, a New York Public Library Best Book of the Year, and Pawcasso, a New York Public Library and Chicago Public Library Best Book of the Year! Clearly, readers of all ages and librarians alike are big, big fans of Remy's books. Remy answers the question, “What takes longer: writing the story or doing the pictures?”   I cannot wait for you to hear Remy’s answer!    Let’s not waste another minute! Enjoy! And don’t forget to follow or subscribe to Kids Ask Authors wherever you get your podcasts!
