My latest picture book, Red Rover: Curiosity on Mars, is officially one week old today (hurray!) Check out this unboxing video with myself and author Richard Ho as we finally “meet” for the first time to discuss the writing and drawing process used to bring Curiosity to life for our readers, including:

What made you choose this story as your debut picture book?
Why did you choose to have Mars be the narrator?
Since you couldn’t go to Mars, how did you approach the research for this book?
Why did you choose this color palette?

School Library Journal calls Red Rover “welcomed by browsers and budding astronomers alike.” Get it now wherever books are sold, and I hope you enjoy my chat with Richard!
