Children’s book illustrator Joe Cepeda gives his visions special meaning
Tagged: book, children, Mexico“”When editors send me a story, they’re expecting my interpretation, my vision, my storytelling ability,” says Cepeda, who is an award-winning illustrator of children’s books. So, if he illustrates a story about the Mexican Christmas Posadas , Cepeda says, “My take on it would not be like a traditional Mexico; it might look like L.A.”
When he illustrated Julius Lester’s “What a Truly Cool World’ (Scholastic), Cepeda’s “take’ on it meant creating a heaven where God rules from a comfortable La-Z-Boy and angels wear sapphire-blue evening gowns and red pointy spiked heels.”
