by Claire Easton in Represents Comments: 0

lend a handLend a Hand, written by John Frank and illustrated by London Ladd, will hit stores on July 1st, and has already received a glowing review from Kirkus. From the review: “Ranging from quiet, solitary acts such as writing a letter to a soldier stationed abroad to publicly cheering for the class klutz’s first hit at bat, these 14 free-verse poems and Ladd’s richly textured accompanying acrylic-and-pastel spreads show how easy and rewarding extending oneself can be.” To read more, click here.

K.G. Campbell’s New Book The Mermaid and the Shoe Receives Kudos

K.G.’s second author-illustrated picture book, The Mermaid and the Shoe is available now from Kids Can Press. The book received a Starred Review from Kirkus.

“Delicate, ethereal watercolor-and-colored pencil illustrations rely on muted blue-gray washes accented with splashes of color to convey Neptune’s underwater kingdom, with its flora and fauna…Although this luminous tale of self-discovery hs echoes of ‘The Litte Mermaid,’ like Minnow, it sings its own strong song.”
