\nWant to head into inky-black outer space with me today? I have a BookPage<\/em> feature about John Hare’s<\/a><\/strong> entertaining Field Trip to the Moon<\/em> (Margaret Ferguson Books\/Holiday House, May 2019) and Tom Sullivan’s<\/a><\/strong> trippy and thought-provoking Out There<\/em> (Balzer + Bray, May 2019). <\/p>\n

That’s here<\/a><\/strong>, if you’d like to head to BookPage<\/em> and read about both books. Today here at 7-Imp are some illustrations from each book. <\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n

Note for any new readers: 7-Imp\u2019s 7 Kicks is a weekly meeting ground for taking some time to reflect on Seven(ish) Exceptionally Fabulous, Beautiful, Interesting, Hilarious, or Otherwise Positive Noteworthy Things from the past week, whether book-related or not, that happened to you. New kickers are always welcome.<\/p>\n

I’m keeping it short this week, because I’m spending half of my weekend in Knoxville, Tennessee, at their wonderful children’s festival of reading<\/a><\/strong>, where I’ll moderate the picture book panel discussion. So, my blogging time is limited. But this festival, which is always a blast \u2014 plus getting to see some old friends, which I plan to do \u2014 definitely constitutes my seven kicks. I’ll be back Sunday. <\/p>\n
