It’s time for ice-cream and cake and a hearty happy book birthday to a very special book from a very special writer friend of mine, Beth Anderson. I remember reading the early drafts of this manuscript a number of years ago – and I’m thrilled that it is now a real book!!!
Revealing the cover of a picture book is like when the curtain is lifted off an important piece of art at a museum. We get a peek at the creative process that has been ongoing for a year or more with input from editor, art director, and perhaps even the author. We gaze at the brilliance that teamwork generates.
Happy Perfect Picture Book Friday, dear friends. And today is such a special day for this particular book because it is the one-year birthday for PENNY AND THE PLAIN PIECE OF PAPER.
HURRAY!!!!! What a beautiful book Miri Leshem-Pelly created! And I’m so thrilled to be able to share it with you. Miri is not only mega-talented…she is also mega-generous and one lucky winner is going to snag a Picture Book Critique or a Zoom chat with Miri…so make sure you leave a comment. Maybe you could tell us what YOU would write/draw on your plain piece of paper.
