April & May Book Releases to Look Forward to!

Happy Spring!

This is always an exciting time of year - earthquakes and eclipses aside - the weather is warming up and new children’s books are coming! I’m working under a couple of deadlines and have no new art I can share (yet). So instead, I’ve listed books by illustrators and authors I admire, as well as a couple I’ve worked on, that I’m looking forward to reading this Spring! I hope you take time to check them out, too.
