What I’m Doing at Kirkus This Week,
Plus What I Did Last Week, Featuring Inga Moore

h1 December 16th, 2011 by jules

This morning over at Kirkus, I write about one of my favorite 2011 holiday titles, Olivier Dunrea’s A Christmas Tree for Pyn. That link is here.

For last week’s column, I wrote about Inga Moore’s A House in the Woods (Candlewick, November 2011). That link is here, if you missed it.

Opening this post is an illustration from the book, and here are some more below. Enjoy.


“…and the work began.”
