Inspiring a World of Imagination | Chris Van Dusen on Writing + Illustrating Kids' Books
Have you ever read a book to your kids and been so disappointed by how uninspired the story is? Or how half-baked the visuals are? Or how poor the grammar is? Same. That's why when you come across the truly great ones, you elevate them and celebrate them. Maine author and illustrator (and father of two) Chris Van Dusen joins us to share about all that goes into creating purposeful, high quality children's literature. Episode 115 of Modern Dadhood is our holiday episode. The guys open with a discussion about The Clement Moore classic "'Twas The Night Before Christmas" and debate the merits of modifying classic material in the public domain before transitioning to their conversation with author, illustrator, and father of two, Chris Van Dusen. Chris shares his story of coming up in the art world, and the path that led him to writing and illustrating classic kids books such as Circus Ship, the Mr. Magee series, and the If I Built series as well as illustrating the Mercy Watson series for author Kate DiCamillo. After the interview, Marc shares a story of connecting in person with one of our early guests, singer/songwriter Martin Sexton. From our families to yours, we wish you happy, safe, and fun holidays. - Adam & Marc LINKS: Chris Van Dusen (Official) Chris Van Dusen (Instagram) Chris Van Dusen (Facebook) Martin Sexton Caspar Babypants Spencer Albee Modern Dadhood (website) AdamFlaherty.tv Stuffed Animal (Marc's kids' music) MD (Instagram) MD (Facebook) MD (YouTube) MD (TikTok) #moderndadhood #fatherhood #parenthood #parenting #parentingpodcast #dadding #dadpodcast
