Last week, I wrote here<\/a><\/strong> about lazy summer (re)reading and mentioned Rose Lagercrantz’s<\/a><\/strong> See You When I See You<\/em> (Gecko Press), illustrated by Eva Eriksson<\/a><\/strong> and coming to U.S. shelves in August of this year. It’s a wonderful addition to this wonderful series. Today here at 7-Imp, I’ve got some illustrations from that. <\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n
