Let's Talk Illustrators #237: Jerome Pumphrey

I feel so lucky that I got to talk to author-illustrator Jerome Pumphrey about Elbert in the Air, written by Monica Wesolowska. You might recognize Jerome's name as half of the "Old" duo (as I'm dubbing them): Jerome and his brother co-created the phenomenal companion titles Old Truck and Old Boat together a couple of years ago. This is the first time Jerome has had full reign of the illustration process, though, and his work continues to wow! Enjoy your peek inside this book!

SO MUCH SNOW

So Much Snow by Hyunmin Park has so much going for it, including a die-cut cover, a binding on the top of the book, a gatefold...the list goes on! AND it's (mostly) wordless!
