Here’s my chat with Tory Woollcott at Mississauga Comic Expo 2018. Podcast is available from Apple Podcasts.
Tory is an author, illustrator and educator based in Toronto, Ontario. Her works include autobiography, graphic novels, science comics, audio dramas, podcasts and kids books. Last year, Tory published her book Mirror Mind which tackled the subject of growing up with dyslexia.
During our chat, Tory spoke about her new book Science Comics’ THE BRAIN from First Second and how to explain the deep subject of neuroscience to kids. Tory spoke about the Science Comics line of books and how they teach exciting science to young readers. She hinted about her next project about ‘Flip Fables’ with the promise of more information next year.
