A proposito di questo titolo
 In this episode of The Growing Readers Podcast, host Bianca Schulze sits down with Theodor Seuss Geisel Award-winning author-illustrator Greg Pizzoli to talk about When the Sun Goes Down, his gentle, rhythmic bedtime book that has earned starred reviews from Kirkus, The Horn Book, and Publishers Weekly. As a young girl asks the creatures around her where they go at night, the story builds toward a question for every child listening: Where do you go when the sun goes down?The book began in 2021, as Greg rocked his infant daughter in a dark room during sleep training. When the refrain came to him, he reached for a pen and wrote it on the back of a receipt. Along the way, Greg shares how those late-night moments inspired his first bedtime book, why he thinks of picture books as performances, and how a printmaker’s eye shaped its cozy, layered art.Read the transcript on The Children’s Book Review (coming soon).Highlights:The Receipt in His Pocket: How a line that came to Greg during sleep training became the seed of the bookBecoming a Reader: Why Arnold Lobel’s “Strange Bumps” from Owl at Home made Greg fall in love with readingWhy Kids Are the Ideal Audience: What a room of preschoolers and a talking bone reveal about young readers’ openness to storyThe Power of “No!”: How Margaret Wise Brown’s The Quiet Noisy Book inspired the interactive turn that gives the story its payoffThe Worm That Didn’t Make the Cut: The nocturnal fact that sent Greg back to the drawing tableRead It Aloud: How school visits and fresh ears show Greg what’s working and what’s draggingThinking in Layers: How Greg created each image from five ink drawings, drawing on his background in screen printingCreative Restlessness: Why Greg keeps changing his process, and how he approached Night Night Crocodile, the sequel to The Watermelon SeedTime Blobbing and LEGO: The daily habits that keep his studio life on track and give his brain a breakThe Sacred Bedtime Routine: How dance parties, book picks, and borrowed insults become part of a family’s shared languageNotable Quotes:“I think kids are really the ideal audience, honestly.” —Greg Pizzoli“You need to read your work aloud.” —Greg Pizzoli“Every book, you start from scratch, even if it’s a sequel.” —Greg Pizzoli“Read to your kids.
