(Click image to see spread and text in its entirety)
Today over at Kirkus, I take a look at the first book in a new picture book series of sorts from author Sara O’Leary and illustrator Karen Klassen. That is here.
Last week, I wrote here about my love for Roxane Orgill’s Jazz Day: The Making of a Famous Photograph, illustrated by Francis Vallejo (Candlewick, March 2016). I’m following up today here at 7-Imp with a couple of spreads from the book.
I highly recommend spending time at Francis’s site. There’s more art there.
Enjoy!
