This is a book that the world truly needs right now. Come listen as we talk about Scott’s journey through around 40 picture books, the cool new word I learned for a combined author and illustrator, the science and tools behind illustrating and color palettes and his hopeful wish for readers young and old.You’ll find the show notes for the episode with links to all of the books and resources mentioned right here: https://www.alitlife.com/2025/12/22/a-book-the-world-needs-right-now-theres-no-place-like-gnomes-by-scott-magoon/Join me inside my Facebook community for bookish people!
