Angelina Ballerina – an interview with Elizabeth Lilly

Podcast #111

For my one hundred eleventh Dream Gardens children’s books podcast, I interviewed author and illustrator Elizabeth Lilly about the picture book Angelina Ballerina, written by Katharine Holabird and illustrated by Helen Craig. Angelina wants to be a ballerina so much, it all she can think about. What to do? Let her be a ballerina!

Elizabeth Lilly is the author and illustrator of  the picture book Geraldine.  Her latest picture book is  Let Me Fix You a Plate: A Tale of Two Kitchens.  You can find Elizabeth’s website at www.elizabeth-lilly.com.

I also have a conversation with Judy Newman, President of Scholastic Book Clubs (@ScholasticClub), about Scholastic Book Clubs new program, The United States of Readers. You can find more information about the program at Scholastic.com/unitedstatesofreaders.

Podcasts are available on iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Please link, share, comment, write a review or subscribe. Let me know what you think! If you are interested in participating in the Dream Gardens podcast, send me a request through my contact page.

My next podcast will be with author Dawn Young about the picture book Goldi Rocks and the Three Bears, written by Corey Rosen Schwartz and Beth Coulton, illustrated by Nate Wragg . It will be published Monday, November 15, 2021.
