In our newest episode, we talk with Andrés Cosarinsky Campos about his nonfiction picture book Kaimiloa. Illustrated with dynamic brush and ink artwork by Inês da Fonseca, Kaimiloa uses surfing to teach readers about subjects such as wave formation and conservation.

Our discussion covers topics from the joy of collaboration to having faith in your project. Andrés’ first book, Sobre Tormentas y Tornados or About Storms and Tornadoes, became part of the national reading program in Mexico. More about him and his current work can be found at www.kaimiloaproject.com.
