06 Oct 2025

Version 1.0.0

Publishers Weekly has given a Starred Review to Charnelle Pinkney Barlow‘s picture book, Two Artists, Grandad and Me, writing “Pinkney Barlow (Little Rosetta and the Talking Guitar) pays homage to her late grandfather, illustrator Jerry Pinkney (1939–2021) in a heartwarming reflection about artmaking’s improvisational process…It’s a portrait of “two artists” at work that takes young creators seriously.” The book will be released in January 2026 by Doubleday.

Congratulations Charnelle!
