Zibby is joined by Sheila Heti (bestselling author of Pure Colour) and acclaimed illustrator Esmé Shapiro to discuss A Garden of Creatures, a tender new picture book that reflects beautifully on death and what happens after it. Sheila and Esmé talk about the personal losses that brought them together and inspired this project, the artistic vision behind the color palette and illustrations, and the positive response they have received from parents. The two also share their fascinating journeys into the art world, the children’s books that changed their lives, and their best advice for aspiring authors.
