Author, illustrator, cartoonist and orthodontist Grant Snider returns to the podcast to talk about his first picture book WHAT COLOR IS NIGHT?.
This is a beautiful debut picture book that explores the wonders—and colors—of nighttime.
SHOW NOTES - QUIET POWER
Today’s show features Grant Snider, the illustrator of Susan Cain’s book QUIET POWER: THE SECRET STRENGTHS OF INTROVERTS for kids and teens. Susan’s books and ideas have helped me understand myself and I’m so thrilled to get to talk about them here with Grant. Grant’s comic style and tone fit perfectly into this book. And as chance would have it, Grant is a huge picture book fan.
