I’ve got a review over at BookPage of Dan Santat’s After the Fall (Roaring Brook Press, October 2017). That is here.
Here at 7-Imp, Dan shares some preliminary, behind-the-scenes images (when the book, as you can see, was in third-person). After that are a few more final spreads from the book.
Enjoy!

Thank you for and thank Dan! It is so generous to include preliminary and working drawings, and the finals are gorgeous.
I think this is my One Book for this year. You know? There’s always ONE book that especially sings to me, and this is my One PB. I love the concept, the story behind it, and seeing the early sketches is a lot of fun. Thanks, guys!
Love those hilarious cereal titles!
