Yesterday’s mail brought a little something I’ve been waiting years to see: the F&G (or “folded and gathered,” or unbound pages) of my first book, The Day-Glo Brothers.
This has been a pretty good week.

This must be incredibly exciting. I am crazy about the colors and the retro feel of the graphics. Can’t wait to see the published version on the shelf of my local bookstore!

Looks good! I’m digging the Day-Glo in the illustrations themselves.

My goodness. I’d forgotten the glowiness of day-glo. And the retro look is most intriguing.

I like the graphic look. It reminds me of 1960s graphic design. What a fun book this will be. Congratz!

I’m a YA librarian, but the illustrations look like so much fun. They remind me of The Chipmunks record album covers. I’ll have to look for this one, just to read.
