\nToday over at Kirkus<\/em>, I take a look at Emil Sher’s<\/a><\/strong> Away<\/em> (Groundwood, April 2017), illustrated by Qin Leng<\/a><\/strong>. That is here<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Last week, I wrote here<\/a><\/strong> about Helen Oxenbury<\/a><\/strong>. I’m following up today with art from two of her newly-illustrated books — Julia Donaldson’s<\/a><\/strong> The Giant Jumperee<\/em> (Dial, April 2017), which was a huge hit in a recent story time I did, and Timothy Knapman’s<\/a><\/strong> Time Now to Dream<\/em> (Candlewick, March 2017). <\/p>\n
