Conversation Currents: Watercolor as a Form of Storytelling: An Interview with Jerry Pinkney

This column features edited selections from a conversation between well-known children’s book creator Jerry Pinkney and Language Arts editor Laura May. Mr. Pinkney’s work presents little-known sides to historical events and provides a level of detail that is unusual for a watercolorist. He discusses his artistic process, his work—including his two recent wordless picturebooks—and his thoughts on guiding children.
