Episode 151: Author & Illustrator Graeme Base

Welcome to Kids Pod, a podcast where kids get to ask adults the questions they really want to know. Nothing is too rude to ask. You send in the questions and our adults will give kids the answers they want to hear. Graeme Base is a children’s book author and illustrator. He has written several books including Moonfish and Animalia. Today he is with us to answer questions about his books, his career, and his favourite onomatopoeia. *Did you know that the creator of Kids Pod, Aimee Chan, is also a children's author?
