What I’m Doing at Kirkus This Week,
Plus What I Did Last Week,
Featuring Hadley Hooper
January 19th, 2012 by jules
Tomorrow morning at Kirkus, I take a look at illustrator and designer Chris Haughton’s newest picture book, Oh No, George! The link will be here.
Last week, I weighed in on Shana Corey’s picture book biography, Here Come the Girl Scouts!, illustrated by debut artist Hadley Hooper. That link is here, if you missed it.
Today, I feature some spreads from the book (a spread above, which I loveloveLOVE, and a couple more below). Enjoy.
(Also, I highly recommend taking some time today to explore the art featured at Hadley’s site. Such good stuff there. I hope she illustrates more picture books in this world.)

Thanks for sharing these. All I had seen was the cover art and now, after looking at these spreads, I can’t wait to get my hands on the whole thing!
Thanks for introducing this book! It’s definitely one that many little girl scouts would be able to relate to. Love non-fiction books that pretend to be just yummy fiction stories!
Don’t you just love the description of Daisy on the first spread- “A lgirl with gumption.” I hope I remember to use that phrase when describing my girls the next time something less savory comes to my mind first!
