What I’m Doing at Kirkus This Week,
Plus What I Did Last Week, Featuring Pénélope Bagieu

h1 January 4th, 2019 by jules

Today over at Kirkus, I write about Shaun Tan’s newest picture book, Cicada.

That is here.

Last week, I wrote here about Pénélope Bagieu’s Brazen: Rebel Ladies Who Rocked the World (First Second, March 2018). Today, I’ve got a bit of art from the book.

Enjoy!

  1. The style of this is so — it reminds me of comic strips from the 70’s. I love it.

  2. Wow. Fierce group of women. Love the concept and stories so far. I will be on the look-out for this book!
