A Raschka Moment

h1 April 23rd, 2015 by jules


 



 

Last week, I chatted over at Kirkus with Paul B. Janeczko about The Death of the Hat: A Brief History of Poetry in 50 Objects (Candlewick, March 2015), illustrated by Chris Raschka. So today I am following up with two spreads from the book.

Enjoy!

  2. I really enjoyed your Kirkus piece last week Jules. Added it to my blog post. I never tire of Chris Raschka’s artwork. It’s marvelous.
