This week over at Kirkus, I take a look at a picture book import, Rita Jahanforuz’s The Girl With a Brave Heart, illustrated by Vali Mintzi and originally published in Hebrew — but brought this March to American bookshelves by Barefoot Books. That link is here.
Last week, I wrote about Tricia Springstubb’s Phoebe & Digger, illustrated by Jeff Newman and to be released by Candlewick next week. If you missed it, it’s here. Today, Jeff shares a few early sketches and pieces of early art (including the one above, paired with a final spread from the book).
Enjoy.
