Over at Kirkus today, I’ve got two Spring reads on the mind.

That is here.

Last week, I wrote here about Sarah Jacoby’s Forever or a Day (Chronicle, March 2018), as well as Ian Lendler’s One Day a Dot, illustrated by Shelli Paroline and Braden Lamb (First Second, April 2018). I’m following up with art from each book today.

Enjoy!
