Ernestine’s Milky Way

h1 April 17th, 2019 by jules



 

Over at Tennessee’s Chapter 16, I have a chat with author Kerry Madden-Lunsford, whose new picture book is called Ernestine’s Milky Way (Schwartz & Wade, March 2019) and is illustrated by Emily Sutton. You can give me a picture book set in the Great Smoky Mountains any day.

The interview is over here at the wonderful Chapter 16 site, and here at 7-Imp today I have some of Emily’s spreads from the book.

Enjoy!



 


“Deep in the hills and hollers of Maggie Valley, where the sun rose over an
old rock house, lived Ernestine, her mama, and their cow, Ole Peg. …”

“Then, rain or shine, she and Mama would head off to the barn to milk Ole Peg. …”

” … And so Ernestine set off in the silent dawn beneath a lavender sky.”

” … Could it be a lone wolf rustling up a breakfast of berries?”
