I've always been a Bob Staake fan and decided ages ago to have a Must Love Bob Staake Day. It was actually pretty easy to do as Bob is quite the loveable character as are his books. I got to know him a little when out of the blue, he sent me an email saying he loved what I was doing at the Picture Book Academy (now the Children's Book Academy) and how it was needed. Wow, as a longtime fan my heart fluttered. So I emailed him back, told him thank you and told him about my illustration course. I asked him if I could interview him for it. He replied he'd be happy to do anything he could to help. Double wow. So after much correspondence back and forth and a wonderful interview, I can honestly say, "I love Bob Staake." Check out this video below of one of his books and you'll get a sense of why this guy is so loveable. That man has so much joy to share :) Comments are closed.
