On the first episode of a new season of Try Reading, I am joined by the #1 New York Times Bestselling illustrator and author, Nikkolas Smith! Nikkolas joins me to discuss his childhood love for stories, what led him from Disney Imagineering to picture book art and writing, the experience of putting his debut out into the world, and his work as a film artist. Nikkolas shares his journey of making incredible concept art and a poster for Ryan Coogler's "Sinners". He also talks about his two most recent impactful and important books and how he hopes his work will continue to inspire readers.
