On this episode, a chat Kori Barton about her Hometown Highlights Alphabet Series. This is a husband-and-wife team illustrating their way across Contra Costa County with a series of children’s books.
To date, books have been released on the City of Clayton, City of Concord, City of Brentwood and City of Walnut Creek – with the City of Martinez in progress. The goal is to bring to light the beauty and unique aspects of Bay Area cities.
We talk about the importance of community pride, art, putting together the projects and whether the writing or illustrations come first, and ultimate goals. Plus, much more including what is next!!!
For more on Kori, the projects, and where to purchase the books, visit them at www.hometownalphabet.com. And for those interested in selling Hometown Highlights Alphabet Series books, give them a holler: [email protected]
