Mondays with Mira - The Monstore by Tara Lazar and James Burke

Today's Mondays with Mira video review looks at The Monstore, a fun book about sibling conflicts.... and monsters.

Author, Tara Lazar, who founded Picture Book Idea Month and helped launch many children's book careers, partially based it on a true story and then added a whole lot of imagination. In the video I look at both the text and art to analyze what makes this fun book work and why it was picked up by a top publisher.

And while, I'm not normally a fan of art that  shows its computer-generated roots, I explain in the video why it works in this case. I hope you like it and purchase it both for yourself and to help support Tara :)
