The Russ Manning Award has been given out annually at the San Diego Comic-Con since 1982, and is presented to a comics artist who, early in their career, shows a superior knowledge and ability in the art of creating comics. Russ Manning is best known for his work on the Tarzan and Star Wars newspaper strips and the Magnus, Robot Fighter comic book. Hamish had a co-winner this year—the talented Pablo Tunica (TMNT Universe) and his fellow nominees were Sean Rubin (Bolivar), Nina Vakueva (Hi-Fi Fight Club/Heavy Vinyl), and Campbell Whyte (Home Time).

The charming and colourful picture book The Diver is out now! Veronica Carratello is an illustrator and comic book artist who has worked with a number of clients including Netflix, Circle Dei Lettori, and has been a part of several exhibitions throughout Italy. We had a chat with Veronica and here she shares more about herself and her story…
1. Your book brings out essential topics that children and also adults deal with throughout their lives such as the self-confidence to believe in and achieve their own dreams. How did you come up with the idea of this beautiful story?
The idea came to me by chance. I could not sleep and I started thinking about how coins are flipped into fountains to make wishes, and I asked myself, what if the coin had a dream of its own? And then I started to develop the story.
At the beginning, Emma was a minor character. But after developing the story with the editor’s advice she became a main character alongside the coin, and the story shows their two lives happening side-by-side. Emma represents commitment to achieving a dream, and the coin represents strength of character. Both of them have moments of concern, as it usually happens in life.
2. Italy is well-known for its Trevi Fountain coin toss tradition and all the popular beliefs about it. Did you draw your inspiration from it to shape the personality of your main character?
Yes, I draw my inspiration from it and I’m fascinated by popular beliefs. If you toss a coin into Trevi Fountain, which I did, it means that you’ll return to Rome one day. But there is also a legend that if you flip a penny into a fountain and make a wish, it will come true.
I have to confess that before sending you the proposal of my book The Diver, I flipped a coin into a fountain too… and my wish came true!
3. Did you put yourself into your characters?
Like my characters, I believe in dreams, and my favourite quote is “If you can dream it, you can do it!” by Walt Disney. I like it because you can convince yourself that nothing is impossible, like the coin’s dream of being a diver, but I think that to achieve our goals, we also need to work hard and be determined, like Emma.
4. If you could have done something different as a child to achieve a dream as an adult, what would you do?
I would probably be a musician. I’ve always had a passion for music: a few years ago I wrote songs and played guitar in a band, I think it’s a nice way to tell a story too.
5. What is the main thing you want readers to learn from your book?
The main thing I want my readers to learn is that it doesn’t matter how small you are or how big your dream is, if you work hard and you really want it, your dream will come true!
As a child, my personality was quiet and reserved, but my feelings were noisy. I was a stomper and a door-slammer — tucked in the middle of the sibling order. In retrospect, I see those characters from the animated movie, Inside Out sitting at the dashboard, haphazardly pushing buttons and battling for control. They acted independently of me, and they longed for expression — longed to be seen and heard (ahem — stomp, stomp). They often appeared in writing: in notes and stories, in journal entries and, as a small girl, in posters strewn across the house for my parents to find, depicting my honest, and probably unhelpful, feelings regarding the discipline of practicing piano (“I HATE PIANO”).
Sharp edges soften. That angry sadness, along with its note-scrawling, door-slamming and foot-stomping, finds a fullness of expression and, often, a quietness. That once-slammed door is sheepishly opened. This is the arc that my first picture book, Out, Out, Away From Here(illustrated by Sang Miao), follows. The story moves readers from the fullness of that noisy feeling — of MAD-SAD-GLAD — to a peace and quiet that we can all find within the space of our own imaginations. No matter how small, we all need to learn emotional intelligence, and that requires practice, care, and patience.
Though I don’t have formal child psychology training, I have spent a lot of time with children, teaching them and learning from them, in daycares and preschools, as a private tutor, as a homeschool teacher. Children have a lot to teach us. They navigate the world with lighthearted wonder, with honest and direct thought and feeling, and with an attention to the present moment. As we teach and care and parent them, we have much to learn from them — to learn together.
How do we encourage emotional intelligence in young children? How do we empower kids to cope with and carry feelings in healthy ways?
1.Remember, Feelings Begin Physically
Tantrums, stomping, frowning, fist-clenching. Identifying feelings is a challenge for all of us — grown-up or not. Young children may only know how to verbally express happy, sad, and mad. While still learning ways to channel and show these feelings, they will express themselves physically. We can help children to identify the clues their bodies/behaviors give them about those unnamed feelings.
2.Encourage, empower, and guide children to name their own feelings
Ask open-ended, exploratory questions. Try to veer away from questions with yes/no answers. Example: How are you feeling? What happened to make you feel this way? What can we do to calm you down or cheer you up?
3.Affirm that feelings are legitimate
Feeling sad, tired, grumpy, nervous, excited — these feelings are real and often important. Let children know that this is normal and okay, that adults feel these too. Share your experiences and strategies with children. When you’re feeling a certain way, how do you cope? We may not choose our feelings, but we can choose how to express them. My parents’ repeated advice was this: “you may be feeling this way, but you don’t need to act this way” (this was usually tired and grumpy, they were referring to).
4.Allow space
Children need access to the outdoors to experience the quiet, beauty, and wonder of nature. Feelings need room to spread out.
5.Step back
In the midst of noisy feelings, children and caretakers can benefit from a pause. “Taking five” was a tool I used in the classroom to allow students (often frustrated and unproductive) five minutes to use in their own, quiet way — often with a pile of books. They, and I, often returned to the task more calm and ready.
6.Read illustrated books aloud
This medium offers children language higher than their level of expression — but not their level of understanding. Books give kids a greater ability to hold and communicate feelings.
7.Give feelings feet!
Encourage children to let their feelings move. If they’re happy feelings — or any sort of feeling, really — dance! As an adult, too, I have to remind myself to sometimes leave my brain and heart behind. Take a walk, write in a journal, create art, play. Move!
8.Help children to recognize that feelings are temporary
A wise friend of mine says you feel feelings — but you aren’t your feelings. Imagine them like visitors. How can we take care of them while they’re here? What can we learn from them? They’ll show themselves out, when they’re ready. They’ll come and go again.
9.Teach that caring for ourselves helps us to care for others
Learning to recognize and care for our own emotions is a necessary precursor to practicing compassion. Encouraging children to know and recognize their own feelings will help them to observe the same in others — and to practice compassion.
10.Remind children that feelings are complicated and that it’s okay
Feelings are often more muddled-up than happy, sad, or mad, but that makes it so important to talk through them.
The world of feelings is wonderful and complicated. It’s a world we all carry within us, child and adult alike. Guiding children to carry their emotions in appropriate ways will lead to healthier children and, someday, healthier adults — capable of caring for themselves and for others. Join me in a journey we all take, over and over again, out, out, away fromhere — through that mountainous terrain of feeling.

The New York Times bestselling graphic novel, Robert Moses: The Master Builder of New York City is now available in paperback as of January 2018. With the constant barrage of seemingly sordid political news, name smearing, and broadening discussions around gentrification and the mistreatment of marginalized people, we took a minute to sit down with Olivier Balez and Pierre Christin, the creators of Robert Moses to find out why they decided that this controversial character had such an important story to tell.
1. What inspired you to create this book about Robert Moses?
“Since my first visit to New York city in the sixties, I have walked extensively in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and Long Island. Slowly, I discovered that there were traces of Robert Moses practically everywhere. Later, I started doing a bit of research on this character, who is more or less unknown to a French person like me. Thanks to my daughter, then working on her Ph.D. at Princeton University, I read books and articles about him. I had already been researching urbanism for some of my novels, and comics, and Robert Moses appeared as such a formidable, visual, figure that I knew I had to do something about his life and I had to work with a graphic artist.”—Pierre Christin
2. In doing the research for Robert Moses: The Master Builder of New York City, what surprised you most about the life of Robert Moses?
“After a trip to New York, Pierre sent me a huge box full of books and pictures about Moses’s work and some books about Jane Jacobs too. This was very helpful because it was difficult to find good resources online. The swimming pools that Moses was responsible for were my favorite part to draw, and Jones beach for all of its lovely details, such as the signs and the bricks.”—OlivierBalez
3. What research did you do in illustrating this book? Is there a particular Robert Moses project that you are most drawn to?
“I was surprised to discover that Moses was undoubtedly a man of power and money, but also an advocate of public service and a much wiser user of state investment than a regular capitalist. In this way, he was not far from another great figure of urbanism, the French Baron Haussmann, who totally remodelled Paris in the second half of the 19th century, a man Robert Moses admired. Both of them were rich and popular for many years, both of them ended up being rejected and with relatively little money in their later years. Romantic destinies, in a way.”—OlivierBalez
4. The illustrations in Robert Moses: The Master Builder of New York City beautifully capture life in New York. If you could describe the city in just a few words, what would they be?
“Several cities within one city.”—OlivierBalez
5. Robert Moses as a character has been portrayed recently in the off Broadway musical Bulldozer, and in the Golden Globe Award winning The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, which focuses on Jane Jacobs’ early protest movement against Robert Moses’ efforts to build a highway through Washington Square Park. Why do you think there is renewed interest in this powerful, intelligent character?
“It is only when I realized who Jane Jacobs was and what she did, that I felt I was ready to write the story I wanted. Because, instead of having only ONE hero—Robert Moses—and taking (even unconsciously) the risk of idealizing one man, I could portray TWO heroes. Moreover, these two characters were incredibly antagonistic to each other: man/woman, right/left, social elite/popular, modern/postmodern. A great theatrical couple both dramatic, and in some respects, funny.”—Pierre Christin
6. In addition to all of his city planning accomplishments, Robert Moses is also responsible for displacing a quarter of a million people, as you show in Robert Moses: The Master Builder of New York City. How do you think that could have been avoided?
“This was certainly not his greatest moment, and now we see that as the biggest failure and the worst aspect of post war urbanism. Unfortunately, the same disaster has occurred in most big cities and suburbs of the world. Even Communist countries, where there is little capitalistic pressure, do no better. However, there is no excuse for Moses’ actions.”—Pierre Christin
7. How do you think Robert Moses could serve as a cautionary tale to powerful men in the US and abroad today?
“Educated and logical people learn from the past. Illiterate and non-rational people despise the past and mostly ignore, or worse, manipulate history.
I do not think many present leaders are ready to analyse the successes and failures of Moses, or the intuitions and illusions of Jane Jacobs. But globally, it seems that the worst constructions and urban planners are behind us, with such giant errors of the second half of the past century.”—Pierre Christin
Robert Moses was a powerful, convincing man, and revisiting the story of his brilliance and flaws helps remind us of the kind of people that built up places that we find pride in as Americans, like New York City. It also reminds us of the great human cost that so often comes along with what we call progress. Check out the fact sheet below of details about Robert Moses that you may not know, and don’t forget to order your copy of Robert Moses: The Master Builder of New York City (now in paperback) at all good bookshops and the links below!
Congratulations to the creator of Wild and The Little Gardener, Emily Hughes, for winning the Theodor Seuss Geisel Award from the American Library Association. Announced Monday, February 12, Hughes along with writer Laurel Snyder won the award for Charlie & Mouse.
Emily’s lush, playful titles have received rave attention since the beginning.
The Little Gardener was an NPR Best Book of 2015, and the New York Times praised, “Hughes’s illustrations thrum with life. The drawings are a tangle of Gauguin and Rousseau and botanical journals.”
As for Wild, the story of a little girl who simply won’t be tamed, Maria Popova of Brain Pickings said it was “an irreverent, charming, and oh-so-delightfully illustrated story, partway between Kipling’s The Jungle Book and Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are . . . Wild is one of the loveliest and most endearing picture-books I’ve seen.”
These stunning titles are available for purchase anywhere books are sold or on the Nobrow website. We wish Emily Hughes all the best in this prestigious win.

5. For your Instagram famous sister-in-law who just wants the ‘perfect’ office wall.
I consider the Leporello collection, including Locomotion, one of the gems that we have at Nobrow. I’ve been in love with these even before working here. The unusual format, turns into a big canvas for the artists to play with. And the final results are printed in spot colors, that highlights the artwork even more. It is a book, but definitely could work framed as well! —Bia, Designer

Hussenot explores how our behavior changes during the few minutes we spend sitting beside those we’ll never see again. Filled with colorful, delicate illustrations of bustling crowds and precious, quiet moments, this is the perfect book for the people watchers and the city lovers, and anyone who has ever enjoyed the feeling of belonging to a crowd. —Coryn, Sales Administrator
