Children make the best artists. Children make the best writers. And singers. And every other type of creators. Partly because they don't worry about the "rules." Partly because they aren't limited by fears.

I hope you enjoy this awesome interview with Newberry Honor author, Lauren Wolk. Find author Lauren Wolk http://www.laurenwolk.com/Instagram: @wolk.laurenFB: Lauren.Wolk.79Candle Island by Lauren Wolk https://www.amazon.com/Candle-Island-Lauren-Wolk/dp/0593698541/Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown, illustrated by Clement Hurd https://www.amazon.com/Goodnight-Moon-Margaret-Wise-Brown/dp/0060775858/#middlegradebooks #childrensliterature #authorinterview Chapters00:00 Meet author Lauren Wolk and author ice breaker03:21 What the book Candle Island is about.05:30 What does art mean to the creator?07:10 What to tell someone who feels scared to try to start creating art?09:31 Should we share our art creations?11:10 What does the art mean to the recipient?12:25 When you created something with a certain emotion, but someone took away something different than expected.13:55 Could anyone be a creator (artist/writer)?16:13 Should we become artists to make money?17:43 When you wrote Candle Island, what did you have in mind for the story?21:01 What does the bird character represent in the book?23:08 Who am I becoming?
