What I’m Doing at Kirkus This Week,
Plus What I Did Last Week, Featuring Karen Klassen

Today over at Kirkus, I write about the new poetry collection from Julie Fogliano, illustrated by Julie Morstad. That is here.
Last week, I wrote here about a new series of books (Owlkids) from author Sara O’Leary and illustrated by Karen Klassen. You Are One will be on shelves this month; You are Two comes in the Fall; and You Are Three will publish next year. Today, I’ve got some of Klassen’s art from the first two books.
I’ll close with Klassen’s lovely self-portrait and a portrait of O’Leary she did.
Enjoy!
