Bottom: Illustration from Lizi Boyd’s Big Bear Little Chair
Today over at Kirkus, I’ve got two new November’y picture books. That link is here.
Last week I wrote here about Lizi Boyd’s Big Bear Little Chair (Chronicle, October 2015), as well as Alison Paul’s The Plan (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, November 2015), illustrated by Barbara Lehman. (Did you know Alison is an illustrator too? Here’s her site.)
I’ve got art from each book today, and Barbara also shares some early sketches from The Plan.
Enjoy!
