Last week, I chatted here<\/a><\/strong> with author-illustrator Steve Light<\/a><\/strong> about his new board book, Mama Tiger, Tiger Cub<\/em> (Candlewick, May 2019). Today here at 7-Imp, I’m following up with some art from the book, as well as a peek at some of Steve’s early sketches for the illustrations. He also shares some sample pieces from his upcoming book, A Whiskers Hollow Adventure: The Road Trip<\/em>. I thank him for sharing. <\/p>\n

Enjoy! <\/p>\n
