This week at the Kirkus Book Blog Network, I didn’t write about a picture book, as I usually do. I still have last week’s events in Connecticut on my mind, as many of us do, and wrote a bit about that. That link is here today.
Last week, I wrote about Jonathan Emmett’s The Santa Trap, originally published in Great Britain in 2009 but released this year here in the U.S. by Peachtree. It’s illustrated by Poly Bernatene, who lives in Argentina and teaches at the Buenos Aires School of Fine Art. If you’d like to read about it, that link was here last Friday, and today I share some art from it.
Enjoy.

Wow – love the lighting! Might have to get my hands on this one. 🙂
I love your wise words over at Kirkus. And I can never get enough pictures by Poly Bernatene.
Ass-kicking art! Would love to see more of this.
That’s a really good post over at Kirkus, Jules.
