For this special video edition of Talks with Roger, I’m joined by Elissa Gershowitz, the newly named editor in chief of the Horn Book, Inc. (yay!), and Liza Baker, vice president and publisher of zero to eight publishing at Scholastic, to talk about some of their new picture books, and the challenging business of picture book publishing in general.

 

And in this second conversation, Liza is back with Elissa and me to take a close look at the publishing path of one book in particular, Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen’s take on “The Three Billy Goats Gruff,” coming from Orchard Books this month. Come cross the bridge with us!
