Stephanie V.W. Lucianovic and Vashti Harrison, HELLO, STAR

Zibby is joined by author and illustrator duo Stephanie V.W. Lucianovic and Vashti Harrison to talk about their new picture book, Hello, Star. Stephanie tells Zibby about how its premise was inspired by the questions her young son asked her former astronaut husband about space — and why she decided to feature a mother-daughter pair in the story instead. Vashti shares how Stephanie's lyrical writing encouraged her to try more creative illustration techniques. The two also reveal how they serendipitously found their way to each other.
