Happy Caturday!
Happy #Caturday! #Illustration by @jonathanfenske
I found this little gem of a cat last month when Jonathan was arranging some files. I was all, “Where did THIS come from? I love it!” And he’s so modest, he was all [SHRUG.] Needless to say, there’s a story about a cat rattling around in his brain. I shall sniff it out soon.

Cover Art and a Giveaway of Woodward and McTwee #kidlitart
Jonathan is gearing up for edits on A Pig, A Fox and A Box, his fourth easy reader that will be published by Penguin USA next summer. Part of this work involves mocking up a cover. We can’t say if this will be the final piece of cover art or not, but it’s one idea. I am digging the colors, especially the light blue, a favorite of mine.
An interior set of illustrations from A Pig, A Fox and A…
