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

This morning over at my Kirkus column, I write about Nicola Davies’ Outside Your Window: A First Book of Nature, illustrated by Mark Hearld. Heavens. It’s a beautiful book. That link is here. I hope to have art from it next week to share with you here at 7-Imp.
If you missed last week’s column, I wrote about the BolognaRagazzi Awards. That link is here.
I don’t have any art for my readers this morning, but here’s what I want to do, fingers crossed. Cristiana Clerici and I think it’d be super neato-skeeto (to put it all professional-like) to post all the book covers from the winning titles (and Mentions), along with at least one spread from each book. This is not a trivial task, though, given that many of these books are published in other countries, but we are going to try (after I get back in town next week from some more blogging-related travel).
So, we hope to have that for you one day in the near future — if we have our way, we’ll be sharing some international illustrations with you.
Until then …
