Yes, I’m chatting with Sarah Stewart<\/a><\/strong> and David Small<\/a><\/strong> today about their latest picture book, The Quiet Place<\/a><\/em><\/strong>. <\/p>\n

But we’re chatting with coffee mugs in hand over at Kirkus<\/em>, instead of at the 7-Imp table. Good thing, ’cause I didn’t clean the table up after last night’s heavy partying. (That is so totally just a lame joke. There will be no partying in my future until I get my manuscript edits done. Giving me the ‘ol skunk eye, that manuscript is.) <\/p>\n

Here<\/a><\/strong> is the Q&A. <\/p>\n

David and Sarah discuss the new book; how they collaborate (or, rather, don’t collaborate) together; what spawned this beautiful story; and more. <\/p>\n

Next week, I’ll have some spreads from the book, as well as some early sketches from the book from David. <\/p>\n

I’m looking forward to that post. Even David’s sketches blow me away. <\/p>\n

Until tomorrow …<\/p>\n

p.s. I composed this post before<\/em> my own coffee intake today, and the post title was originally “Sarah Stewart and David Small for Breakfast.” I’m glad I caught that mistake. I think we all need them to stick around—no seven impossible acts of cannibalism before breakfast, please—so that we can experience more of their future books.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
