Reviews

Emily Wylie reviews Falling into Place by Amy Zhang

This week’s guest is Tara Lazar, author of the picture book illustrated by James Burks, The Monstore, and creator of Picture Book Idea Month, aka, PiBoIdMo. (You may even learn how to say it, too.)

Tara and I talk about

Why Tara started PiBoIdMo––it came from a baaaaad place!
The results of being part of PiBoIdMo (Contracts, Agents and Grants, OH MY!)
What makes this community special. (It’s awesome.)
If Tara could magically give everyone in her community one thing in this world, what would it be, and why?
What she said was the hardest question she’s ever been asked. (Hint: I asked it!)
Giving a shout-out to some of her power-users and most active members. Hear who she mentions and find out what she likes most about them!
The hottest topics that always seem to be discussed in the group.
How newbies––or anyone––can get the most out of PiBoIdMo.
What has surprised Tara the most about being the head of this forum.
