In Summer 2023, we sat down with Terri Libenson, New York Times bestselling author of The Pajama Diaries and the Emmie and Friends series. She shared with us a bit about her early interest in comics, her journey into comics-making, and the difference in her readers as a comic strip creator, and a middle-grade cartoonist. Together we think about what it is about the form that lends itself so well to processing traumatic experiences in a way that can be both creative and therapeutic. We also discussed her process, what she’s currently reading, and we hear a little about her upcoming work and what she still wants to do in her series
