\nToday over at Kirkus<\/em>, I’ve got colors on the mind. <\/p>\n

That is here<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Last week, I wrote here<\/a><\/strong> about three picture books that won’t be on shelves till the Fall, but I like them so much that I couldn’t help myself. Today I’m following up with some art from those books, so you’ll see illustrations here from Patrick McDonnell’s<\/a><\/strong> The Little Red Cat Who Ran Away and Learned his ABC\u2019s (the Hard Way)<\/em> (Little, Brown, September 2017); Barb Rosenstock’s<\/a><\/strong> Vincent Can’t Sleep: Van Gogh Paints the Night Sky<\/em> (Knopf, October 2017), illustrated by Mary GrandPr\u00e9<\/a><\/strong>; and Mac Barnett’s<\/a><\/strong> I Love You Like a Pig<\/em> (Balzer + Bray, September 2017), illustrated by Greg Pizzoli<\/a><\/strong>. Greg also shares some preliminary images below. <\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n
