Today over at Kirkus, I’ve got a Swedish picture book import.
That is here.
Last week, I wrote here about a Belgian import, Sarah V. and Claude K. Dubois’s The Old Man (Gecko Press, March 2018).
I’m following up with art from the book today.

I am still in awe of this book, Jules. Every time I think about it, look at it…so incredible.
Yes! It’s remarkable. So much going on. Such tenderness.
