Vancouver-based Carroll, a veteran of television animation, has also written and illustrated Into the Woods, a collection of Grimm-influenced short stories that McElderry Books will publish in spring 2014. It will be exciting to see her artistic interpretation.” Now I’ll get the chance to turn that over to Emily, who gets to show readers how those silent moments look and feel. ![]() Some of my favorite moments in the novel are those when Melinda can’t speak because she is so hampered by her depression and the hard things that have happened to her. “The fun part with this adaptation is figuring out how few words I can get away with. “It’s definitely different from novel writing, though I have written a half-dozen picture books – that’s how I started in the business,” she said. The author, who estimates that she is one-quarter of the way through the adaptation, said she is enjoying the challenge. ![]()
