Today over at Kirkus, I’ve got two new and quite wonderful picture books — both about bus rides. They are totally worth the ticket. (I can’t resist that weak pun. Forgive me.)
That link is here.
Last week, I wrote here about the birthday edition of Lesléa Newman’s Heather Has Two Mommies (Candlewick, March 2015), illustrated by Laura Cornell, as well as Miriam B. Schiffer’s Stella Brings the Family, with art from British illustrator Holly Clifton-Brown and coming in May from Chronicle Books. So, today I have some spreads from each book.
Enjoy!
Mrs. Abbott had a surprise for the class!”
