Marina Ivezaj Writer + Illustrator of 'Imagine Colors with Megi'

October 27, 2020 • Leonita Productions • Season 1 • Episode 4

I sit and chat with Marina Ivezaj about her inspiration and process to publishing her first children's book "Imagine Colors with Megi". A school project she worked on with her son reignited a passion in writing and illustrating her own storybook. She recalls memories of drawing and painting as a kid, and how when she grew up she suppressed that artistic side and was unsure if she had what it took to create something of this nature. After only taking one night to write the full story, the process of drafting and creating the artwork was a whole new endeavor. Through practicing her painting with watercolors, researching, and working tirelessly day and night she accomplished her goal.

This book is a breathe of fresh air. It is easy to read, very COLORFUL, full of magic, insights confidence, and gratitude for young readers. My daughter enjoyed reading it, especially being able to color and create her own artwork in the book.
