Tomie dePaola was one of the most beloved authors and illustrators of children’s books of the last 50 years. When he died in 2020, readers of all ages mourned. While many knew him best for his Strega Nona stories, dePaola also wrote and illustrated many books about Catholic saints and feast days, as well as adaptations of Bible stories.
Sarah Mackenzie, author and founder of Read-Aloud Revival, got to know Tomie dePaola in the last several years of his life, visiting him in his studio and corresponding with him regularly. She wrote about her friendship with him in the foreword to the new book, Through the Year with Tomie dePaola, which collects dePaola’s artwork depicting saints and illustrating important feasts of the liturgical year.
In this episode, Andrew Petiprin speaks with Mackenzie about her relationship with dePaola, the lasting impact of his books and artistic vision, and how reading our way through the liturgical year, especially with young children, can bring us closer to God and to each other.
