Good morning, all. Here are some illustrations I intended to post last Friday, but I didn’t quite get them in time. These are from Lin Oliver’s<\/a><\/strong> Little Poems for Tiny Ears,<\/em>
illustrated by Tomie dePaola<\/a><\/strong> (Nancy Paulsen Books, February 2014), which I wrote about at Kirkus<\/em> last week. This is such a superb collection of poems for very young children, and dePaola’s art is so inviting. As I said, I wrote about it here<\/a><\/strong>, so you can read a bit more about it at that link, if you’re so inclined.<\/p>\n

I’m happy to have some of the poems and art to share today. <\/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

I’m going to be brief this week, as my co-author and I are coming ever closer to our end-of-the-month book deadline. (Did I mention the book’s publication will now be August, instead of this April? We have work to finish up now, the kind of tedious permissions work very necessary for nonfiction.)<\/p>\n

This video could encapsulate my kicks 1 to 7, though, because I love this band, Elbow<\/a><\/strong>, and I’m very happy they’ll have a new album soon. This is a new song (er, two songs in one?), which pretty much made my week:<\/p>\n
