This morning at Kirkus<\/em>, I write about a Christmas story, straight from Sweden and originally published there in 2012 — Ulf Stark’s The Yule Tomte and the Little Rabbits<\/em>, illustrated by Eva Eriksson. It’s available in the States now, thanks to Floris Books. <\/p>\n

Since I wrote here<\/a><\/strong> last week about the anniversary edition of two of Robie H. Harris’<\/a><\/strong> excellent books for children about puberty and sexuality, I’m sharing some illustrations from them today. Michael Emberley<\/a><\/strong>, who will visit 7-Imp soon for a breakfast interview, illustrated them. You can click on each spread to see it in more detail. <\/p>\n

Until Sunday … <\/p>\n
