"I often put myself in the mindset of the character and pose myself in the mirror, making the noises I imagine the character would make if he/she could jump off the page and speak,” says Shaw. “In the case of the Hungry Giant I would find myself hunched over in front of the mirror repeating ‘nom nom nom!’”

“My dog found the whole thing a little confusing and her expressions made for great inspiration for the dog, Cowgirl, in the book.”

“I think my favorite part of the book was working with the graphic designer to develop all of the pop-up and paper engineered elements."
