I wanted to show that nature is our boss! – Interview with Leanna.

A lovely interview by Maria Marshall at Picture Book Buzz with myself and Alex Nees, the incredibly talented illustrator of SEASONS BY THE LAKE. Picture Book Buzz is a blog about making nature fun for kids.

I spent a large part of my childhood with my brothers, cousins and friends exploring nature on our own. We had the freedom to roam outdoors. Mind you that the wild outdoors in Greenland is pretty much outside a house. And I am very fortunate that I had these childhood adventures depicted in SEASONS BY THE LAKE – Blog interview with Betsy Bird
