Down to the Last Detail: THE PANDA'S CHILD

Holy cow was I mesmerized by every part of this book. The cover was no exception with the beautiful light green foiling on the bamboo that serves as a perfect frame for our main characters!

Let's Talk Illustrators #300: Cathy Fisher

From the moment I saw the cover of The Panda's Child, written by Jackie Morris, I was blown away (for more on that, check back tomorrow!). From the story to the illustrations to the book's design, The Panda's Child is super special, and I'm glad I get to share my interview with illustrator Cathy Fisher about it here today. Enjoy!
