Down to the Last Detail: MINH AND THE MAGIC GRAINS OF RICE

I'm so excited about this foil! It looks blue-purple at first, but as you move it around it turns into a rainbow foil!

Let's Talk Illustrators #323: Catarina Sobral

I am pleased to share my interview with Catarina Sobral about Ashimpa: The Mysterious Word , translated by Julianna Barbassa, here today! This is a particularly exciting interview for me because I have owned the Portuguese edition for over a decade, and now that it's publishing in English I have a chance to show you the process behind making it! Enjoy taking a closer look at this gorgeous and whimsical book with me!

Let's Talk Illustrators #322: Regina Linke

Today I'm so lucky to share my interview with Regina Linke, creator of the highly-lauded Big Enough. I think it's clear from the cover that this is a clever and thoughtful book, and it should come as no surprise that the process behind creating it was the same. Happy reading!
