A Moment with the Art of Qin Leng

h1 April 5th, 2018 by jules



 

I’m following up my Kirkus Q&A last week with illustrator Qin Leng — which was here, if you missed it — with some of her illustrations from Jessica Scott Kerrin’s The Better Tree Fort (Groundwood, March 2018).

Enjoy!



 


“Russell said to his dad, ‘Let’s build a tree fort.’ Russell’s dad said, ‘I don’t know much about building.’ He looked up, up, up. ‘Or tree forts,’ he added.”
