Everyone comes to me.”
— From Marianna Coppo’s Petra
Valentine’s Day might be over, but I’m extending the celebration this week with some books, old and new, over at Kirkus today.
That is here.
Last week, I wrote here about John Himmelman’s Floaty (Henry Holt, January 2018) and an Italian import, Marianna Coppo’s Petra (Tundra, February 2018). I’m following up today with art from each book.
Enjoy!

I’m not any ordinary egg.
I am an egg of the world,
in a world of possibility.”
