I love to see those well-crafted picture books that are a snapshot of the pandemic. Elana K. Arnold’s PIP AND ZIP, illustrated by Doug Salati, is a new one that, in particular, captures the beginning of it all when the whole world seemed to shut down: http://blaine.org/sevenimpossiblethings/?p=5608. https://t.co/hueENSA2WV

At 7-Imp today, Betina Birkjærs’s COFFEE, RABBIT, SNOWDROP, LOST, illustrated by Anna Margrethe Kjærgaard and translated by Sinéad Quirke Køngerskov. This Danish import tells a tender story about dementia as if affects an intergenerational relationship: http://blaine.org/sevenimpossiblethings/?p=5441. https://t.co/hX3PjyQjnM

At 7-Imp, Curtis Manley’s THE RESCUER OF TINY CREATURES, ill. by Lucy Ruth Cummins, a story that captures the experiences of quiet, observant children — those looking out for the vulnerable creatures on the periphery: https://t.co/DHsMnWNMmC.

At 7-Imp today, a Japanese picture book import, originally published in 2012 — Yoshi Ueno’s THE BIG HOUSE AND THE LITTLE HOUSE, ill. by Emiko Fujishima. Incidentally, it has the most detailed, tiny-print, copyright-page art note I’ve seen in a while: https://t.co/bYg1o5DLcn. https://t.co/xUkbXULXVU

I'm so pleased to see Isabel Thomas and Daniel Egnéus collaborate on another picture book. FOX: A CIRCLE OF LIFE STORY is a remarkably eloquent (and unflinching) book about life, death, and what happens after death. More at 7-Imp today: https://t.co/zrmRUXtAUJ. https://t.co/nZDZsL7y7t

Doug Salati’s HOT DOG, his first book as an author-illustrator, will be on shelves in May. This beautifully constructed story is about one dog’s (and human’s) escape to the sea. At 7-Imp, some spreads and some of Doug’s early character studies: https://t.co/inHSjMeyRp. https://t.co/wQWcvUPDUx
