Love of Reading Gallery - Cyd Moore

Love of Reading Gallery - Cyd MooreThere’s one thing you can count on when it comes children’s book creators; they’re wildly passionate about what they do and what they believe in which is typically literacy and a love of reading.

Count illustrator Cyd Moore among that crowd. I called Cyd to interview her about Book Buddies, her contribution to our Love of Reading Gallery and when I brought up literacy and love of reading in general, she took off, joking that she’d jumped on her soapbox. And you know what? It was great. I could have talked to her for hours.

On this edition of Just One More Book!!, illustrator Cyd Moore shares her personal experiences with children’s books and her passion for getting children hooked on reading.

Among Cyd’s illustration credits are:

  • Willlow
  • I Love You Stinky Face (and other books in the Stinky face series)
  • Room for Rabbit

Books mentioned:

  • Missing Rabbit

Be sure to enjoy all of the amazing artwork in our Love of Reading Gallery.

Love of Reading Gallery - Kevin Levell

Love of Reading Gallery - Kevin LevellWhen we put out the call for illustrations that promote a love of reading, we didn’t expect to receive 51 submissions in about a month.

As part of the second anniversary celebrations of the Just One More Book!! children’s book podcast, we’re conducting short interviews with each illustrator that contributed to our Love of Reading Gallery. These interviews will be published as extra shows in our interview feed.

On this edition, Mark speaks with illustrator Kevin Levell about his contribution called Old Favourite.

Be sure to enjoy all of the amazing artwork in our Love of Reading Gallery.

By the way, if you know Mark you know that he’s very particular about good audio quality. More importantly, he’s extremely particular about great conversation. Unfortunately, his audio card acted up during this interview and the resulting audio is disappointing. The conversation is too good to attempt an encore performance. We assure you that if you can be patient with the audio quality, you’ll be rewarded by the discussion.

Mark reached Kevin at his home in the UK, during tea time.
