Podcast #104

For my one hundred forth Dream Gardens children’s books podcast, I interviewed author and illustrator Ben Zhu about the picture book Du Iz Tak by Carson Ellis. Du Iz Tak is a simple story of a group of bugs who find a sprout, but through the use of an invented language and engaging illustrations, it becomes a unique and special experience of discovery and imagination.

Ben Zhu in an author and illustrator,  and he is founder of  Gallery Nucleus in California.  His debut picture book is Dessert Island. It was released this year. You can find Ben’s website at www.benzhudraws.com and more information about Gallery Nucleus at www.gallerynucleus.com.

In addition, after the interview I will be reading the first two chapters of my own debut Middle Grade novel Hush-a-bye. For more information about my debut novel, please visit my author page at jodyleemott.com.
