silly bob has found a home

detail from submission page for SILLY BOB

i am so glad SILLY BOB has found an interested publisher. Dutton. contract is in the works. it will be so much fun to work on. still waiting to start on TINY BABY. the way things work, both publishers will get in contact the same day and it will be a real challenge to keep up with the work then. in the meantime, working on ZIG. (that is all i am going to say about Zig for now!)

contract with charlesbridge

happy call from Linda yesterday: Charlesbridge wants to acquire my book, A VERY TINY BABY. I am thrilled. the image is a detail from the dummy. we will have to wait a long time for anything more final.
the story is told in a sort of journal/scrap book/ strip form. it originally stems from my experience as the mother of a very premature baby but surprisingly (to me!) much more from my experience as the 2 year old sister of a very premature brother. all the emotions a young child feels when a new baby comes along are there... with the extra drama of the baby's prematurity.
