The In Character Interview with Marianne Dubuc

Marianne Dubuc's Mr. Postmouse's Rounds (Kids Can Press) is a charming story packed to the brim with memorable characters and illustrations that offer more to discover on each reading. Mr. Postmouse's Rounds was named a Best Picture Book of 2015 by Kirkus Reviews, where it was praised as being "like a mailbox overstuffed with gifts".

Today we're talking to Marianne as part of our In Character interview series. She tells us about creating the interiors of each animal's house, what she and Mr. Postmouse have in common and her all time favourite book characters.
