Book announcements are great fun. But as an author, I'm essentially limited to a palette of plain text. Illustrators, on the other hand...
To wit, I wandered over to Lost illustrator Jessica Lanan's website to admire her incredible art, and was delighted to find her announcement of our book... along with a sketch. And yeah, I'm pretty sure I just fell in love with a cardboard box. Check out the announcement and the rest of her website here, and be sure to pre-order her upcoming book, Just Right: Searching for the Goldilocks Planet. A picture book about exoplanets? Sign me up! So excited to announce that my second picture book, Lost, has found a home! And it's a familiar one! Roaring Brook Press/Macmillan (the same publisher as my debut, Red Rover) will send this book into the world in fall 2020. The story follows the journey of a lost package through the mail system, and is a heartfelt tip of the hat to my dad, a United States Postal Service veteran who retired a few years ago after a 30+ year career. More great news: incredible illustrator Jessica Lanan will be bringing the story to life! I'm overjoyed to work with my awesome editor Emily Feinberg again, and thanks are due (as always) to super-agent Emily Mitchell for making this happen. Official announcement below, and more details soon!
