Matthew Forsythe:Let the Reader Feel

嘉宾 | Guest： Matthew Forsythe Join u s in this in-person conversation with Matthew Forsythe —acclaimed creator of Poko and the Drum, Mina, and Aggie and the Ghost. Known for his cinematic pacing, emotional subtlety, and the stillness of his characters, Matthew talks about how his picture books grow from sketches, memories, and one core emotion—whether courage, anxiety, or the shadows we carry. In this episode, we explore: • how he balances introvert–extrovert energies in storytelling • how animation influences his sense of drama • the emotional “keywords” behind each book • the invisible dialogue between reader and creator ... Whether you’re a parent, educator, or picture-book lover, this episode opens a window into the craft, psychology, and surprising tenderness behind Matthew’s work. Books mentioned: Poko and the Drum, Mina, Aggie and the Ghost. 你可以在这里找到我们 | Where to Find Storyland： wechat: Storyland童书研究所（ID:STORYLIVING)
