Award winning children's author & illustrator Lauren Child discusses how her career began, and she shares the secrets behind her Charlie & Lola books.
We explore creative inspiration including Charles Schulz the creator of Charlie Brown & Snoopy, and we chat about boredom being an important ingredient of creativity. We discuss Lauren's choice of music to listen to whilst working, and you might be surprised by her answers.
We also chat about Quentin Blake, plus we talk about the art form of children's writing & illustration and why this isn't as valued as it should be.
