Jaime Kim Is Illustrating My Next Picture Book, and I’m Over the MOON (hint, hint)

By

I recently learned that Jaime Kim will be illustrating my next picture book, which is about the moon and will be coming out from Millbrook in spring 2017. (No, it’s not a can be… book.) I was unfamiliar with her work, and Carol Hinz sent me to Jaime’s website, which features this slideshow of her work. Sigh. Do you see all those glorious moons? Including this one?

I am SO excited and can’t wait to see what she does with my words.
