In our latest interview, we had the pleasure of speaking with Arthur Strangekin, the imaginative force behind the delightful children's book, "Not A Fox." Arthur, who not only penned but also illustrated this engaging tale, shared his insights into the creative process and his passion for storytelling that resonates with both young readers and adults.


"Not A Fox" is a humorous and captivating story about a fox plotting the chicken heist of the century, cleverly told through a series of witty dialogues and vibrant illustrations that capture the essence of Arthur's artistic vision. During our discussion, Arthur revealed how his love for animated films and children's literature significantly influences his work, imbuing it with joy, humor, and a deep sense of relatability.


Arthur's journey from an art-loving dad to a celebrated author-illustrator is not just inspiring but also a testament to following one's passion. His approach to blending offbeat humor with heartfelt storytelling is what sets his work apart in the crowded landscape of children's books.


Our conversation with Arthur Strangekin was not only enlightening but also a delightful glimpse into the mind of a creator who truly believes in bringing more joy into the world through his art. Fans of "Not A Fox" and new readers alike will find much to admire in Arthur's dedication to his craft.
