Blue Balliett, author of "Chasing Vermeer," talks about how illustrator Brett Helquist was able to make the paintings in the book so real, and also discusses the puzzles interwoven throughout the story and the power art can have.  The full interview from a 2004 episode of "Conversations On The Coast with Jim Foster" can be heard now wherever you get your podcasts.

Word: Collector's (5/11) The art world and art collectors will always been intriguing to me. Chasing Vermeer by Blue Balliett takes place in Hyde Park, Chicago and deals with the theft of the painting by Johannes Vermeer, A Lady Writing. Middle schoolers, Petra and Calder dig into the mystery and become better friends because of it. #justonewordbookphotochallenge #chasingvermeer #blueballiett #aladywriting #johannesvermeer #bretthelquist #code #artworld #artcollectors #collectors
