Priya  Kuriyan Q. How did you get roped into to illustrate for Razia and The Pesky Presents?
A. I’ve illustrated books for Duckbill previously, and books Natasha had written with other publishers. So, I knew I could be assured of a really fun book to illustrate considering what a good combination Duckbill and Natasha would make. I was sent the first draft to read and it was hilarious. I love making irreverent illustrations and there was immense potential for that in this title.
