An interview with Viviane Schwarz
I met up with Viviane Schwarz on Wednesday, and was lucky enough to see all her amazing sketchbooks and studies for There are Cats in this Book. Here are a few snaps, and at the bottom of the post you’ll find the interview. You can hear her talk all about the making of the book, how tricky it was trying to make it work, why she loves the Moomins, and we even get a few exciting hints at what we’ll see in the sequel!
Thanks so much to Viviane for letting me ask so many rambling questions!
