Jonathan Roth and Jason Platt at the 2024 Virginia Children’s Book Festival
Last October I had the opportunity to speak at the Virginia Children’s Book Festival in Farmville, Virginia. It was a blast. Not only did I get to meet the passionate group at the VCBF, but also met a lot of creative individuals who ALSO write books and from there some who also illustrated them!
One of the other presenters was fellow author and cartoonist Jonathan Roth. Neither one of us had met before, but when we found out that we were going to be doing a ‘How to Cartoon” segment together, we bonded quickly.
His books Rover and Speck are fantastic. And his picture book, Almost Underwear is a great journey from the Wright Brothers to NASA.
Jonathan also interviews children’s book authors, and about their upcoming work. He asked me if he could interview me with my latest series, Paw & Order Vol 1: The Grilled Cheese Caper.
