Julie: When I first read the lovely manuscript for ‘Swan’ by Laurel Snyder, I nearly jumped for joy.
I had been interested in Pavlova from the time I was a young child in ballet classes. I had not yet done a picturebook biography and was so excited (and a bit nervous) to take it on.
In addition, I immediately had very strong visual images spring to mind for the text.
