In the past few years, you may have noticed that Cynthia Rylant has started illustrating many of her own picture books, including "Dog Heaven," "The Whales," and "The Bookshop Dog." Her painting style is very distinctive, quite unlike the illustrations others do for her books. I think "Dog Heaven" is especially outstanding in terms of her visual approach to a difficult topic.
Carolyn, can you offer us any insights into how Cyndi came to start illustrating, and how she decides which ones to illustrate herself and which ones to turn over to another artist?
