(Q&A interview)

Excerpt:

"In Horse Song, Ted and Betsy Lewin invite readers to join them on a
journey halfway around the world for a fascinating glimpse into a friendly
and hospitable nomadic culture and its riveting horse races. Here, the
creators talk about how they turned their experiences into a beautiful
picture book."

(another interview)

Excerpt:

Q: Why did you choose to illustrate the hippos on the spread, Look!
Hippos splash?

A: Hippos are fun to paint because of their big, round forms, especially
when they're wet and glistening. Painting splashing water is very difficult.
The splash in the hippo painting was masked out with liquid mask so I
could paint over it.
