Featuring Victoria Kann: Snickerdoodle and the Case of Victoria's Awry April Fools Joke, Part 1

We have yet another author guest! It’s Victoria Kann, yes, she of Pinkalicious fame!

We talk about the Pinkalicious origin story (spoiler alert:  April Fools!) and how she came up with the title’s design. Victoria talks about her early days as a freelance graphic design artist:  a collage of work, if you will. And as always, we talk about her illustration techniques. And, as always, it’s very cool.

We talk about her latest book Snickerdoodle which is published the day after this episode drops! Yes, Victoria shares the origin story. Lots of origin stories in this one! She asked the question, “What if”—sorry. You’re going to have to listen. It’s really fun.

And details? You like details? So many interesting details about her thank yous in her books. And we explore the tremendous amount of wonderful details in the illustrations that we’ve noticed, discovered, rediscovered, and, most importantly, shared with our girls as we read and enjoyed Victoria’s books with them over the years. We hope you will too!

We had such a great time with Victoria and while we weren’t surprised it didn’t make it any less awesome.
