new book news

I am delighted to announce that I will be illustrating a new book for editor Janine O'Malley at Farrar, Strous and Giroux. The author of this wonderful story (which I fell in love with before I had even read more than 3 or 4 lines into it,) is the great Laurie Thompson. The illustration above is just a very early preliminary sketch, it should be interesting to see how it looks six or eight months from now!

This is just the tip of the iceberg, folks. Paul's preliminary art for this book is absolutely, unbelievably adorable! I am a lucky, lucky author, indeed. So excited and honored to see the brilliant Paul Schmid bring this one to life! SQUEE!!
