🎙️ A Slice of Art Spotlight | Rachel Michelle Wilson, Award-Winning Author & Illustrator
Sometimes, the most memorable stories come from simply being yourself.
At the Bigfoot Kids' Book Festival, we had the pleasure of speaking with Rachel Michelle Wilson @rachmakesbooks, the author and illustrator behind the picture books How to Pee Your Pants: The Right Way, To Catch a Ghost, and How to Escape a Playdate.
Rachel shared how she draws inspiration from personal experiences, including an embarrassing first-grade moment that eventually became the basis for her debut book, How to Pee Your Pants: The Right Way.
💛 One message from our conversation especially stayed with us: Your creative voice matters more than perfection. Trust who you are, embrace what makes you unique, and let that shine through your work.
Thank you, Rachel, for sharing your experiences and reminding young creators that their own stories are worth telling!
