Children's book illustrator Patrice Barton http://PatriceBarton.com talks with author- illustrator Mark Mitchell http://HowtoBeAChildrensBookIllustrator.wordpress.com about the first sketches she made for the new picture book "Sweet Moon Baby" by Karen Henry Clark (Knopf Books).
"Sweet Moon Baby" is Barton's second book for Knopf.
