“Jenny is feeling out of sorts, but she doesn’t want to talk about it.
She just wants to be loved.”

This morning at Kirkus, I write about the anniversary edition of Heather Has Two Mommies, as well as a couple of Heather’s descendants. That link is here.

Last week I wrote here about an import originally published in France in 2013, Sibylle Delacroix’s Prickly Jenny (Owlkids Books, March 2015), so today I’m following up with some art from the book.

Enjoy.

“Jenny doesn’t know what she wants today.
But tomorrow, when she’s bigger, it will get better.”

  3. These muted illustrations really have her “prickliness” down! 🙂 Thanks for sharing, Julie 🙂
