I love that pile of leaves! And Lobel has so many wise words of wisdom! Thanks for sharing them in one place. I am definitely going to return to them for inspiration.
What a time capsule that interview is. It makes sense how layered and expressive his drawings are based on his tracing paper method. All that care really comes through. I grew up with Mouse Soup and Mouse Tales and Arnold Lobel made the recordings for them, too, which I listened to over and over--he really was an entertainer at heart. My husband was given Owl at Home by his grandparents in 1982 and now we read that copy to my son.
That pile of leaves reminds me of a kid version of Marjory the Trash Heap from Fraggle Rock. (I love it!)
Also: "You don’t have to work like everyone else. Your process is valid." Amen.

This is awesome. He’s one of my favs.

P.S. I'm glad you don't have rabies.
