Old Tom

 

It’s not often you get to interview one of your old teachers, so imagine my surprise when I discovered that Australian artist, children’s book author - and my high school art teacher - Leigh Hobbs, would be coming to town. I got in touch with Mr. Hobbs, I mean Leigh, while he was still in Melbourne to talk about the new Chinese translation of his much-loved Old Tom series. I’ll be speaking more to Leigh this afternoon at his children’s art workshop at The Bookworm.
