This week on Blamo! I’m joined by one returning guest and one first-timer — Mac Barnett and Shawn Harris. Mac is the current — and ninth ever — National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature, a New York Times bestselling author of more than 60 children’s books, and a two-time Caldecott Honor recipient. He’s also a past Blamo! guest, which made this feel less like an interview and more like picking up a conversation we never really finished. Shawn is an award-winning illustrator and author whose book Have You Ever Seen a Flower? received a Caldecott Honor and is a personal favorite of mine — one of those books that quietly rewires the way you see the world. Mac and Shawn are close friends, serious book people, and — somewhat under-the-radar — real fit gods. We talked about good books, good stories, and good clothes!
