Cover Curiosity: Face to Face
Some book covers, I think, are designed to like other book covers on purpose. Like this, for example. Others happen to share a general composition. Here’s one such pair. Today we have a case of the latter, a compositionally congruent duo. First up . . . Hannah and Sugar by Kate Berube Second up . […]

‘Fan Art’ to Finished Product: Monsters Go Night-Night by Aaron Zenz
Kids: in addition to being the beneficiary of children’s literature, they help to inspire their fair share of it too.

Books on Film: Drawing a Story with Jeff Kinney
A while back, Diary of a Wimpy Kid author Jeff Kinney appeared on Sprout TV to draw a story. It’s Halloween-themed – something to keep in your back pocket until fall.

Let’s ‘Planet of the Apes’ These Picture Books
When I first saw the original Planet of the Apes it left a big impression on me, due in large part to the twist ending. For those that haven’t seen it – spoiler alert (wait, this film came out in 1968 – spoiler alert retracted) – the main character (astronaut Taylor, played by Charlton Heston) realizes […]
