Author Q&A Jukebox is a time-traveling, magical tale about music, family, and courage. What inspired you to create this middle-grade graphic novel? I live in a home with nearly 2,000 vinyl records because my husband is a collector. Suffice to say that music is a huge part of my life. The initial spark of the story came when he and I were talking about why Jukeboxes don’t play full albums, only singles. I realized a jukebox that could play full albums would be imposing and it instantly felt like an object of power. The Jukebox is a symbol of the power music has in our collective lives. At times the story was very daunting - how can you write one story about music? It’s impact is so great! Music is also very nuanced. The same song that makes your heart swell can change to one that crushes you. I am constantly fascinated by music and how it has influenced and marked history. From social and political movements, it plays an important part in our awareness. I wanted to craft a story that allows two girls to explore how music is intertwined with memory, history and provides an important beat to our lives. What’s your favorite era of music history? And what was your favorite moment to bring to life through your art? I think the late 60s and 70s were the most interesting in terms of the influence of music and history. Musically it was the beginning of hip hop, electronic music was taking off and new recording technology was enabling artists to explore more. The funk, soul and rock n roll of that time was so good and fresh. For Jukebox my favorite thing to capture was how music can fill a space visually. What do you hope readers take away from this story? I hope it inspires readers to think about music and its significance in our lives and history.
