I’m saying adieu for the week to 7-Imp. I’ll be back on Sunday for a) some kicks and b) some illustrations from one of my top-five favorite picture books of 2009. So, to sign off for the week and wish you all happy holidays, I’ve got some brightly-colored spreads from one of David D\u00edaz’s<\/strong><\/a> illustrated titles from ’09, Let There Be Peace on Earth: And Let It Begin with Me<\/strong><\/em><\/a> (Tricycle Press; September 2009), a picture book adaptation of Jill Jackson’s and Sy Miller’s popular 1955 ballad<\/strong><\/a>. (The book, incidentally, comes with a twelve-song CD of various folks who have recorded the song over the years, a fun fact for you fans of the ballad.) <\/p>\n

Happy holidays to all. Here’s to the notion of taking each moment and living it in peace, as Jackson and Miller wrote about…See you on Sunday, I hope!<\/p>\n

{Here are two more of D\u00edaz’s radiant, joy-filled spreads. Click to enlarge, if you’re so inclined. Enjoy.}<\/p>\n
