We’re talking about STEM, nature, language, and illustration in children’s literature. Joining us are Donna Jo Napoli and Feleecheeta Sala, author and illustrator (respectively) of the new children’s picture book AS NIGHT FALLS, from Penguin Random House.
AS NIGHT FALLS is a glimpse into what creatures do after dark. From algae to spiders to jackals. Why is this important- uncovering the mysterious for kid readers?
The book depicts the exact processes, habits, tendencies of these creatures. Why are STEM and nature in kid lit valuable?
Real names/language- dinoflagellates, goby fish, spot-bellied eagle owls- are not simplified for young readers. Why does this matter?
Your illustrations- gorgeous! How do they draw the reader in?
And finally, what's the connection between these wild creatures and children?
