![]() ![]() I cook, I eat, I drink, I take walks up and down the hills, I check the mail, I pet the cats, I read, and when I manage I write or draw a little bit. SR: I don’t have a typical working day because I always find new ways to procrastinate. When did you start to write your own stories and become an author as well? What prompted that? Jen Sherman: You began your career as an illustrator at the age of 20, in 1986. We sat down with Sergio Ruzzier and asked him a few questions. The second book in the series, The Quiet Boat Ride and Other Stories, will be published March 5, 2019. The first book in the Fox & Chick series, The Party and Other Stories, was recently awarded a Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor at the American Library Association Youth Media Awards. I read A LOT of children’s books these days, and these are the only ones where I find myself thinking of certain lines from the stories at random moments throughout the day and giggling. The stories take you along the escapades of the ever-patient Fox and the somewhat-annoying Chick. My favourite books of his are the Fox & Chick series, which are a lovely (albeit difficult to categorise) combination of short stories, comic, and early reader. ![]() ![]() Sergio Ruzzier is a children’s picture book author and illustrator, and his books are delightfully quirky and charming, with wonderful warm humour and a lot of attention to detail (and therefore a lot of fun for the grown-up reading the book). ![]()
