'Talking with Artists, Volume II' introduces children and adults alike to thirteen picture book artists as they talk about when they knew they would become artists, their source of inspiration, and even the discouragements they have had to overcome. Such noted illustrators as Floyd Cooper, Denise Fleming, Maira Kalman, and Brian Pinkney have provided adult and childhood photos and art. Secret techniques from the artists and the chance to peek into their studios add to the inspiration, interest and fun.
