Since the story of Wabi Sabi is a journey, I chose a horizontal design in an accordion format (like Mouse Match (Harcourt, 1997)), and worked in ink, pastel and collage. What was the timeline from your accepting the manuscript to its publication? What were the major challenges along the way? I liked the story, so I submitted it to a number of houses, but didn’t have any luck until a friend, Molly Bang, suggested her editor at Little, Brown, Andrea Spooner, who passed it on to Alvina Ling, our editor. He worked on the manuscript for many years.Īfter he read my book, Cat and Rat (Holt, 1995), he thought I might be interested in collaborating.
