Today over at Kirkus, I’ve got a wonderful, new picture book, a superb blend of nonfiction and poetry. That will be here soon.
Last week, I wrote here about Alison McGhee’s Tell Me a Tattoo Story (Chronicle, April 2016), illustrated by Eliza Wheeler. Today I have some art from the book, as well as some preliminary images from Eliza.
Enjoy!

I love these Fridays posts with artwork from a book featured the previous week Jules. These are like sunshine for the soul.
Oh, thanks, Margie! I have to wait a week, by Kirkus rules (which I understand), and I always like to do it, because I can’t talk about picture books without showing the art, right? RIGHT!
Thank you so much for featuring my artwork for TATTOO STORY! I know both Alison and I are so honored to hear your sweet words about this book.
Ah, how I love Eliza’s art!!! I can’t wait to see the book!!
wonderful post.
Love her work.
Always love Eliza’s beautiful work! Great idea for a book. Wish I had thought of it. 🙂
