Rex and Boots Storyboards

These storyboards are for an upcoming video shoot featuring super sleuths Rex and Boots. The short video will be shown at the California Library Association Convention in Sacramento to promote next summer’s reading program theme, “Get a Clue.”

Don’t miss Rex and Boots: Super Sleuths at the NoHo Arts Center on Saturday, Oct. 28 at 11 am and 1 pm. Click here for more information.

Here is an excerpt of an interview I conducted with Rex and Boots puppeteers Sean Johnson and Anita Coulter.

PJ: When did you know you wanted to be a puppeteer?

SJ: I grew up watching Sesame Street and The Muppet Show, and from an early age I was inspired by the work of Jim Henson. His death had a profound impact on me, and it prompted me to begin building puppets and putting on puppet shows.
