The Art of Bringing Franklin to Life
Putting a face on Franklin was a welcome challenge for Brenda Clark, who had worked as an illustrator for children’s magazines and books before she signed on to create the art for Franklin in the Dark. The artist was gratified by the freedom she was given to provide visual dimension to the characters and their environs. "Paulette has a way of writing a good story without over-describing things, and I was able to interpret her words any way I wanted," said Clark. "It was a treat to be able to invent a world for Franklin and his friends."
