Hi, all. <\/p>\n

You’re really gonna click on the image above and see that cardboard up close, right? <\/p>\n

I recently reviewed Sam Zuppardi’s<\/a><\/strong> The Nowhere Box<\/a><\/strong><\/em> (Candlewick, November 2013) for the fine folks at BookPage<\/em>. This is Sam’s debut picture book. <\/p>\n

And, since you all know I get kind of twitchy when I don’t share art from the books about which I write, I’m following up here today at 7-Imp with some art from Zuppardi himself (pictured right). He has also sent along some early sketches and dummies from the book. <\/p>\n

My book review is here<\/a><\/strong> at BookPage’s<\/em> site (I give them seven points for the name they gave my review, “He’s a Real Nowhere Man”), and below are some more images from Sam. <\/p>\n

I thank him for sharing. <\/p>\n

Enjoy! <\/p>\n
