Down to the Last Detail: ON A SUMMER NIGHT

I must share the gorgeous foil on the cover of this book, it's so evocative! You can practically feel the heat coming from the setting sun behind the child as the gold foil shimmers across the sunlit spaces in the doorway. Absolutely sublime!

Let's Talk Illustrators #295: Sarthak Sinha

Today I'm sharing my conversation with Sarthak Sinha about his process for the first book in a new series with author Alom Shaha called How to Find a Rainbow.
