Today, BookPage has a piece I wrote about two new picture books all about sheltering from a storm — Susan Vaught’s Together We Grow (Simon & Schuster, May 2020), illustrated by Kelly Murphy, and Linda Ashman’s When the Storm Comes (Nancy Paulsen Books, May 2020), illustrated by Taeeun Yoo.
That is over here at BookPage’s site, and here today at 7-Imp are some spreads from each book.
Enjoy!
