Lisbeth Zwerger! Lisbeth Zwerger!

This is how most of her fans, including me, respond when they hear she has a new book out. My Kirkus column today is about that and is here.

Last week (here), I wrote about Rachel Isadora’s newest picture book, Old Mikamba Had a Farm (Nancy Paulsen Books, October 2013). I’m following up with some illustrations from the book today, including the one pictured above.

Enjoy.

  3. This is her best ever! I find the entire character of the book very true to that of Africa. I lived in Tanzania for 20 years and now have children of my own and we live in Bklyn. We all enjoy the great art and twist of song!
