A Tiger Tale
Today’s show features Mike Boldt, the author and illustrator of A TIGER TALE (Or What Happened to Anya on Her First Day of School). I am a big fan of Mike Boldt’s illustrations and I’m a huge fan of A TIGER TALE. And all that is well and good but what I’ll remember about this conversation is that the person behind this work is humble, grateful and inspiring.

Thanks for posting those sketches! What a wonderful guy!
I know … don’t you just love seeing those early sketches!
I agree! The sketches are wonderful 🙂 It’s one of my favorite things—seeing the prep work 😀
The first time I “met” you, Mike, was (if memory serves) during a #SharpSchu book club. Your humble, personable (not obviously shy) nature was instantly appealing and I liked you straight off 😀 This interview was so many things—heartwarming, inspiring, enlightening—and I related to so many sentiments and experiences. My heart ached for you when you described that period of “no work” and what that felt like. I’m so happy for you that your doubts weren’t realized in the long run. We’d all be missing out on what you produce!
Thanks, guys, for a podcast that made me smile—AND helps fuel the “perseverance tank” that is so often close to empty 🙂
Agreed. Getting to know people like Mike just makes you want to do the work! Let’s keep the perseverance tank filled!
