What was your favorite book to read as child? I really love to knit, read, bake, go for walks, and spend time in the garden. What do you like to do when you’re not writing or illustrating? What I love most of all is that the cat was neither big nor bad, he was just as sleepy as the pugs were.
What’s your favorite part of Three Little Pugs? After a lot of revising, it eventually became a real book. Luckily, I had a notebook with me and my husband was driving the car, so I was able to write everything down. One day we were all driving in the car and it all kind of came together in my mind. After we got our second pug, Jilly, I began actively thinking about it. I had the idea for the three little pugs but I didn’t have the foggiest notion how I was going to write it so I just put it in the back of my mind. We got our first pug, Gordy, eight years ago. How did you come up with the idea for Three Little Pugs? My artwork is always stronger when there is a story behind it, so with the help of my agent and writing group, I am working on becoming a stronger writer, too. I wanted to be an illustrator ever since I was a little kid, but I didn’t work up the nerve to try to become one until after I had kids of my own.
When did you first realize you wanted to be a writer and illustrator?
To celebrate the book birthday for The Three Little Pugs, we went behind the scenes with author/illustrator Nina Victor Crittenden.
