This morning over at Kirkus, I write about some 2013 books that got away. That link is here.
Last week, I wrote about Once Upon a Memory, written by Nina Laden (who chatted with me a bit about writing the book) and illustrated by Renata Liwska. That link is here.
Today, I’m following up with some sketches and final art from Renata.
Enjoy.

Beautiful! And Renata’s style is so perfectly matched to Nina’s words. Like watching dry leaves dance in the wind!
Thank-you!
Yes, yes, love.
Renata’s work has such a soft, magical quality. So glad you brought her work to our attention 😀
That this is such a beautiful book is no surprise . . . having been written and illustrated by two beautiful people! <3
