Podcast appearances and mentions of Eliza Wheeler

In this episode, we continue to discuss voice in picture books. We started this series in the last episode, where Julie Hedlund defined the types of voice found in picture books and Katie Davis gave us hilarious examples of the funny style of voice. If you haven't already, be sure to go back and listen to episode 56 for help pinning down the elusive meaning of “voice.” Today, we bring you Founder Emeritus Laura Backes and examples of using a lyrical voice in picture books to reinforce certain types of stories. Let's jump in. Books mentioned in this episode: GIANT SQUID written by Candace Fleming and illustrated by Eric Rohman WHEN YOU ARE BRAVE written by Pat Zeitlow Miller and illustrated by Eliza Wheeler

(with guest Eliza Wheeler) Once upon a time, a tired and worried mama and her young boy ducked into a bookstore for both a bit of shelter from the storm and for the love of books.  While the wee fella fawns over books about fierce dinosaurs and strapping knights with swords, the mama spied a magical book that drew her from across the room. That book was Eliza Wheeler's children's book Home in the Woods, a story about her own grandma, a story so deeply rooted in her family history that her siblings and cousins acted it out in the woods of their land, and a story that in the telling would, unbeknownst to her, inspire this mama to remember that she is indeed capable. I'm honored to have Eliza join me on this episode and share the long and winding path that brought that story from her childhood play to that mesmerizing book cover that drew me across the room on a cold day in November. In our show, she tells of how finally, she had to let go and allow herself to produce next to nothing in a 4 week prestigious fellowship, as the story brewed inside of her.  And you'll cheer alongside me when finally it burst forth.  And she shares what it is to write a children's book that includes hard topics like death and homelessness and have it speak safely to children in a way that builds empathy and understanding of the world. Her intention is palpable in this book and it's a joy to hear about that process.  Have a listen!Mentioned in the podcastthat gorgeous video about the making of the bookher websiteHer newsletter Creativi-TeaHer booksHome in the WoodsMiss Maples Seeds Eliza Wheeler is an illustrator and author of books for children.

Every year, our Read-Aloud Revival Team watches the American Library Association Youth Media Awards together. These are the official awards of ALA. Some you'll recognize, like the Caldecott, the Newbery and the Coretta Scott King Awards. But others are not quite as well known ... The ALA Youth Media Awards honor books that have been published in the previous year, so this year's awards ceremony in January 2022 was honoring books that had been published in the year 2021 only. For this episode the RAR team gathered together to talk about the announcements that made us cheer, the familiar faces that we loved seeing win, and ... ...just a few books that we think should have gotten some ALA love.

Eliza Wheeler, author/illustrator of Home in the Woods and Miss Maple's Seeds among many others, talks about her career, work and inspiration.

John Ronald's Dragons: The Story of J.R. R. Tolkien (MacMillan Children's Publishing Group) A captivating picture book biography of a boy who imagined a world full of dragons and grew up to be beloved author J. R. R. Tolkien. John Ronald loved dragons. He liked to imagine dragons when he was alone, and with his friends, and especially when life got hard or sad. After his mother died and he had to live with a cold-hearted aunt, he looked for dragons. He searched for them at his boarding school. And when he fought in a Great War, he felt as if terrible, destructive dragons were everywhere. But he never actually found one, until one day, when he was a grown man but still very much a boy at heart, when he decided to create one of his own. John Ronald's Dragons introduces the beloved creator of Middle Earth and author of The Hobbit to a new generation of children who see magic in the world around them. Praise for John Ronald's Dragons “[B]eautifully illustrated introduction to Tolkien’s life for younger readers.” —School Library Journal “The dragons of imagination are always there, but sometimes it takes time for them to breathe fire—that’s what McAlister suggests in this thoughtful look at the creative development of John Ronald, aka J.R.R. Tolkien...It’s an ideal lead-in to family readings of The Hobbit.” - Publishers Weekly Caroline McAlister teaches English at Guildford College and every year takes students to Oxford, England, to study fantasy in the setting where Tolkien lived and wrote. She lives in Greensboro, North Carolina. Eliza Wheeler wrote and illustrated New York Times bestseller Miss Maple's Seeds and enjoys eating Hobbit food and reading Tolkien aloud with her friends. She divides her time between the coast of California and the riverbanks of Wisconsin.

We also discuss This is Our Baby, Born Today and its transformation from first to final draft, including the choice of a baby elephant as the main character and the ways that the matriarchal society of elephants has touched the diverse readership of the book. (We also discover Varsha’s celebratory rituals, which may or may not include a bag of Cape Cod Kettle Cooked 40% Reduced Fat Potato Chips!)   Thank you for listening.

Miss Maple's Seeds (Nancy Paulsen Books) Fans of Miss Rumphius will adore this gorgeous picture book which introduces the kind, nature-loving Miss Maple, who celebrates the miracle in each seed. Miss Maple gathers lost seeds that haven't yet found a place to sprout. She takes them on field trips to explore places to grow. In her cozy maple tree house, she nurtures them; keeping them safe and warm until it's time for them to find roots of their own, and grow into the magnificent plants they're destined to become. Eliza Wheeler's luminous paintings feature gorgeous landscapes, lush foliage and charming details. Her tender story celebrates the potential found in each seed--since even the grandest tree and most brilliant flower had to grow from the smallest of seeds. Celebrate every season with Miss Maple, from Earth Day to graduations to harvest festivals. "Confident artistry and an intuitive knowledge of what the world looks like to a very small person make a winning combination in Wheeler's debut. . . . Careful observation of seeds (including a labeled seed chart), leaves, and plants gives the artwork substance, and Japanese woodblock-style skies that fade to sunset hues provide a wistful emotional overlay. Wheeler has clearly had a good time inventing fairy-house fixtures for Miss Maple: flower lantern boats and hollow-log houses make one yearn to escape our big, unwieldy world and inhabit hers."--Publishers Weekly Eliza Wheeler grew up in Wisconsin and got a degree in art and design from the University of Wisconsin. She currently lives in Los Angeles, California. Visit her at WheelerStudio.com. THIS EVENT WAS RECORDED LIVE AT SKYLIGHT BOOKS APRIL 7, 2013.
