Over at Kirkus today, I’ve got the picture book debut from author-illustrator Joowon Oh.

That is here.

Last week, I wrote here about Isabelle Arsenault’s Albert’s Quiet Quest (Random House, June 2019); Samantha Cotterill’s This Beach Is Loud! (Dial, June 2019); and Julia Denos’s Here and Now (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, September 2019), illustrated by E. B. Goodale. I’m following up here today with some art from each book.

Enjoy!



 

From Here and Now:


 


“You are sitting, or you are standing, or you are wrapped up in a bed.”

“There are animals, wild ones and tame, living and breathing all around you.”

“Muscles are growing, cities are growing, babies are growing.
Cuts and broken bones are sewing up and healing.”
