Lynne Roberto Wins Hearts and Minds with Exclusive Interview in Novelist Post
LONDON, UK – Acclaimed author and artist Lynne Roberto takes center stage in an exclusive interview with the esteemed Novelist Post magazine, sharing intimate reflections on her creative process, inspirations, and the heartfelt mission behind her cherished children’s stories. Roberto, whose books like Grandma Forgets: But I Remember and the widely adored Jack the Bear series have touched hearts across generations, captivated the magazine’s audience with her emotional honesty and dedication to using storytelling as a tool for resilience and hope.
Novelist Post, known for celebrating literary excellence, hailed Roberto’s writing as “timeless storytelling at its best,” praising her ability to create “unforgettable characters filled with empathy, creativity, and compassion.” The magazine recently presented Roberto with The Art of Fiction Award, a prestigious accolade recognizing her exceptional talent in captivating readers through her imaginative and deeply meaningful fiction.
In the interview, Roberto spoke fondly of how her upbringing in a home filled with creativity inspired her work: “Growing up, I was taught to think creatively or ‘out of the box.’ I just knew my toys had an active life when we weren’t looking, and I told everyone about it.” This unique perspective led to stories that not only delight young readers but also gently guide them and their families through life’s challenges.
Heartfelt Themes and Timeless Lessons for Young Readers
Roberto shared the deeply personal inspirations behind her books. On the creation of Mia, the child protagonist in Grandma Forgets: But I Remember: “Mia became part me, part my sister, as we were the main caregivers of our aged parents and grandparents. I wanted this story to ease the way for children to understand that memory loss doesn’t mean that love is lost.”
Discussing her beloved Jack the Bear series, Roberto explained how each toy character embodies unique life lessons and emotions, from self-acceptance to confidence and resilience. As Roberto shared, “Scarlet is the shy one… George is the insecure bear—fearful of looking different… Oliver is a survivor. I wanted to impress children that even with the loss of people important to you and devastating situations, there is a way forward, and you can be happy again.”
Her ability to convey profound lessons while retaining lighthearted magic and adventure is perhaps her most celebrated skill. Roberto noted, “Children need to learn there can be a solution to problems and not be afraid to look for them. Learning to find the fun in situations can ease the pain.”
An Artist’s Lens on Storytelling
Not confined to storytelling alone, Roberto’s artistry shines through in her paintings and photography, which she uses to bring her vivid imagery to life. Her multi-dimensional creativity has also garnered praise in prestigious art publications like WOWwART Magazine, which lauded her painting Hidden Lake as “an evocative and mesmerizing work of art that captures the timeless beauty of nature through an impressionistic lens.”
