When we put out the call for illustrations that promote a love of reading, we didn’t expect to receive 51 submissions in about a month.
As part of the second anniversary celebrations of the Just One More Book!! children’s book podcast, we’re conducting short interviews with each illustrator that contributed to our Love of Reading Gallery. These interviews will be published three times each week as extra shows in our interview feed.
On this edition, Mark speaks with Rebecca Gavney Driscoll about her contribution called Reading With My Friend.

It’s a fun job and somebody has to do it.

As Alvina said, the Blue Rose Girls had a little getaway at Libby's this weekend. It was the first time we managed to have all of us in the same place at the same time, with the exception of our lovely poetry BRG, Elaine. First there was lounging, snacking, and talking about books.
Then more lounging, some drinking, and talking about books...
Then at some point we realized that without planning it, we were all wearing stripes (didn't mean to steal your thunder Longstockings, we are just THAT fashionable).
A more formal portrait:
And lastly, there was roller skating. Lots and lots of roller skating. Could there be a better weekend? Stay tuned for pics from Meghan and Alvina who took their cameras onto the roller rink floor... there are sure to be many extremely embarising pictures of us doing the hokey pokey on skates and trying to avoid tiny kamikaze child roller skaters darting in our paths...

Rebecca’s illustration warms my heart and reminds me of the many Saturday mornings when I was a child and my mother would drop my two younger brothers and I off at the library. I was happiest when I had a bundle of books under my arm and I was leaving the library knowing I had hours and hours of enjoyment to be had reading.
I like the use of water colors and colored pencils that Rebecca used in her illustration. There is a lot of life in her drawing due to her use of bright colors and animated faces on her characters.
