Last week I wrote here<\/a><\/strong> about Lizi Boyd’s<\/a><\/strong> Big Bear Little Chair<\/em> (Chronicle, October 2015), as well as Alison Paul’s The Plan<\/em> (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, November 2015), illustrated by Barbara Lehman<\/a><\/strong>. (Did you know Alison is an illustrator too? Here’s<\/a><\/strong> her site.) <\/p>\n

I’ve got art from each book today, and Barbara also shares some early sketches from The Plan<\/em>. <\/p>\n

Enjoy! <\/p>\n
