Over at Kirkus<\/em> today, I’ve got picture books with big subjects on the mind. <\/p>\n

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

Last week over at Kirkus<\/em> (here<\/a><\/strong>), I wrote about four new Spring picture books. Today at 7-Imp, I have art from two of them \u2014 Helen Ahpornsiri’s<\/a><\/strong> Drawn from Nature<\/em> (Candlewick, March 2018) and Jaime Hernandez\u2019s<\/a><\/strong> The Dragon Slayer: Folktales from Latin America<\/em> (TOON Books & Graphics, April 2018). <\/p>\n

I wish I had some spreads to show you from Guridi’s<\/a><\/strong> Once Upon a Time<\/em> (Tate Publishing, March 2018), but I wasn’t able to secure any. <\/p>\n

And this Sunday here at 7-Imp, I’ll share images and sketches and such from Rowboat Watkins’s<\/a><\/strong> Big Bunny<\/em> (Chronicle, April 2018). <\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n
