“Just one thing reminded me of home — of sunlight, fountains, and the

Over at Kirkus today, I’ve got Things That Go Vroom on the mind.

That is here.

I’m following up today with a bit of art from the books in last week’s column (here), Nicola Davies’s King of the Sky (Candlewick, May 2017), illustrated by Laura Carlin, and Bob Graham’s Home in the Rain (Candlewick, June 2017).

Enjoy!
