Over at Kirkus today, I write about the debut book from Emily Tetri.

That is here.

Last week, I wrote here about Hallee Adelman’s My Quiet Ship (Albert Whitman, October 2018), illustrated by Sonia Sánchez; Gusti’s Mallko and Dad (Enchanted Lion, November 2018); and Clémentine Beauvais’s Hello, Monster! (Thames & Hudson, October 2018), illustrated by Maisie Paradise Shearring.

I’m following up today with some art from each book.

Enjoy!

From My Quiet Ship:


 


“Whenever I hear the yelling,
I run to the spot.”

“… Far, far away
From here…
From there…
From that yelling.”

“I start crying. My pilot says, ‘What are you doing? You’re the commander!
You can’t just sit here and cry like a baby!'”

From Hello, Monster!


 



“What if that little boy isn’t REALLY a little boy at all?
What if he’s a MONSTER in disguise?”

“After the panther had finished her huge dinner,
she’d spend all night telling us stories about the jungle. …”

“When we got home, our parents would be so happy to see us. …”
