\nMmm. I want some of what they’re<\/em> having for breakfast. <\/p>\n

Hi, all. I’m doing one of those BookPage<\/em> numbers today. What I mean is: I reviewed a new picture book over at BookPage<\/em>, and I could just leave it at that. But you all know I get kind of twitchy when I don’t share art from the books about which I write, so I always follow up those BookPage<\/em> reviews (and my weekly Kirkus<\/em> columns) with art and (if I’m lucky) sketches from the books — over here at 7-Imp, that is. It’s just an extra, Art-Fan step for me—no one asks me to do it, but I just can’t help it—so humor me. <\/p>\n

The book I reviewed is Emily Winfield Martin’s<\/a><\/strong> Dream Animals<\/em>, published by Random House in October. So, to read all about it, head over here<\/a><\/strong> to BookPage’s<\/em> wonderful site. <\/p>\n

And then come back here, if you’re so inclined, to take in the sketches Emily’s sharing, as well as some final art from the book.<\/p>\n

Enjoy! <\/p>\n

Note for any new readers: 7-Imp\u2019s 7 Kicks is a weekly meeting ground for taking some time to reflect on Seven(ish) Exceptionally Fabulous, Beautiful, Interesting, Hilarious, or Otherwise Positive Noteworthy Things from the past week, whether book-related or not, that happened to you. New kickers are always welcome. <\/p>\n

Forgive me for not listing seven separate kicks today, but all seven are rolled up into the fact that it’s a quiet night ’round these Danielson parts. My girls are sleeping over at their grandmother’s, so I’m going to take advantage of the quiet and go read or otherwise do something else offline-like. For one, this book<\/a><\/strong> showed up, and I’m eager to crack it open, so maybe I’ll do that. <\/p>\n

p.s. I highly recommend poring over the art at Emily’s website<\/a><\/strong>. I may or may not have just purchased something for my girls for the holidays at her shop, too. Shh. Don’t tell ’em. <\/p>\n
