In this episode, author/illustrator team Jarrett and Jerome Pumphrey tell us about:

  • How they work together as a creative team.
  • How they get ideas and elaborate on their ideas.
  • How they decide what to include in the words vs. what to include in the pictures in order to convey their story.
  • How they revise.

During the speed round at the end of the episode, Jerome and Jarrett tell us about feelings they have while writing and making art, where they work, and other places they find themselves thinking about their work.
