Over at Kirkus today, I’ve got babies on the mind.
That is here.
Last week, I wrote here about Renato Moriconi’s The Little Barbarian (Eerdmans, August 2018) and Kate Gardner’s Lovely Beasts: The Surprising Truth (Balzer + Bray, September 2018), illustrated by Heidi Smith. I’m following up with a bit of art from each book today.
Enjoy!
