Summary
Aaron has crafted some of the most jaw-droppingly beautiful wordless children's books I've ever come across. Our conversation with him explores how he landed a job working on animated films and how he eventually found his voice as a children's book author.
I loved leafing through the pages of Aaron's books before my girls could read because they could still tell me what was going on in the story. If you haven't seen his work, definitely check it out and start with his first book, Journey.
