As a child, he spent much of his time drawing and stapling stories into little books. His path to eventually becoming a children’s book author and illustrator — and ambassador of learning — included stops as a police officer, restaurant worker, real estate agent and farm worker.
On this edition of Just One More Book, Mark speaks with Simon James about illustrations as a tool for creative development, single books that become book series and the globalization of children’s literature.
As a bonus, at the very end of this podcast, Mr. James tells the story of how his book Baby Brains came to be.

Hilariously understated body language and text tell a tale of in utero education gone wild in this entertaining poke at the modern, ambitious parent.

Random comment, as I check your site today:
THANK YOU for putting copyright dates (and other publishing info) on your reviews. It makes me crazy to read a blogger’s positive thoughts on a book but then, when I try to get info on it in order to try to read it myself, I have no idea if it’s ten years old or just out. Not that it matters in terms of simply reading it, but, well, I’m a nerd and want my publishing info. So, thanks!
Jules,
You are very welcome!
And thank YOU for leaving us the nice note!
Andrea
Thank you so much for reviewing my book. Sitting in my studio in England U.K hearing your thoughts and comments is a great thrill!
My best wishes to you all, Simon.
Hi Simon
We loved the new book too, where Baby Brains tries out as a Rock Star!
Loved your podcast about Simon James’s book Baby Brains. He has such fresh, intriguing ways of looking at life. I’ll have to rush out and read it! What a terrific idea, your coffeeshop conversations! Thanks.
