Judy Blume chapter books I illustrated coming out in a couple of weeks!

While the middle grade editions are out now, the chapter books I illustrated will be out in bookstores on May 27th (paperback) and June 3rd (hardcover). CAN'T WAIT!

My Judy Blume illustrator MG copies just arrived! (chapter books still to come)

SO EXCITED.

I mentioned a while back that I was illustrating the covers of 7 Judy Blume classics that were being reissued in middle grade format by Atheneum/Simon & Schuster. Well, THEY ARRIVED YESTERDAY.

It's one thing to work on the illustrations in my cozy basement office. It's entirely different to actually HOLD the books in my hands (!!!).

These books will be in stores on April 29th. The chapters books that I provided interior illustrations for as well as the cover illustrations are coming out on May 27th.

In case you missed it, here's how I became a Judy Blume illustrator.

New covers and samples of my illustrations from revamped Judy Blume classics from Atheneum / Simon & Schuster Children's

Just got permission to post the new covers and sample illustrations from the newly revamped chapter book editions of JUDY BLUME classics coming out from Atheneum/Simon & Schuster Children's this spring.

Also see my blog post about doing the cover art for the revamped Judy Blume middle grade books and how I became illustrator for this amazing project.
