Over at Kirkus today, I’ve a chat with author-illustrator Carin Berger about the Pen and Ink Brigade and their new initiative, the Blue Wave Project.
That is here.
Last week, I wrote here about Marianne Dubuc’s Up the Mountain Path (Princeton Architectural Press, October 2018); Oge Mora’s Thank You, Omu! (Little, Brown, October 2018); and Ross Watkins’s Dad’s Camera (Candlewick, October 2018), illustrated by Liz Anelli.
I’m following up with art from each book today.
Enjoy!

I so love Omu’s cheeks. The landscape of the mountain is just… gorgeous. I can truly imagine the vistas in coffee table book form. Really some pretty illustration – and this is why picture books are a whole-family experience!
