What I’m Doing at Kirkus This Week,
Plus What I Did Last Week, Featuring Jean Jullien
February 13th, 2015 by jules
This morning over at Kirkus, I write about a small handful of new picture book imports, since I was inspired by the just-released 2015 Outstanding International Books List from USBBY. That Kirkus write-up is here.
Up above is a spread from Sean Taylor’s Hoot Owl: Master of Disguise (Candlewick, February 2015), illustrated by Jean Jullien, which I wrote about here last week.
(The trailer is good stuff too. You can visit Minh Lê’s site to see it.)
Until Sunday …

A bookseller just showed me Hoot Owl two weeks ago. I absolutely love him. Love his tenacity and the ending cracked me up. Now I’m going to read all the picture book imports – great list.
