This week I’m joined by Sydney Smith, Canadian author and illustrator of children’s books. Sydney has won many awards for his thoughtful and evocatively illustrated picture books that speak to the complex emotions of what it feels like to move through the world as a child. We sat down to talk about the complicated nature of childhood memories, finding inspiration in films and their colour palettes, plus a peak inside his sketchbook, pencil case and studio. Buy Sydney’s most recent book, Do You Remember hereFind more of Sydney’s work hereFind Georgie hereLinks Sidewalk Flowers by Jonarno Lawson and Sydney SmithRobert Frank: The Americans Lee Friedlander Fairfield PorterBen ShaunHitchcock/Truffaut by François Truffaut The Nutshell Library by Maurice SendakWhat to Look for in Winter by E.
