🌿🐛Preorder Whose Tree Is This!🍂🦇
I said I would post properly about Whose Tree Is This and give you all a preorder link if you wanted it, so HERE IT IS!!
Whose Tree Is This, written by Marilyn Singer, is my debut picture book (I illustrated it!) coming out from Lerner Books on April 7th. It's a great little nonfiction book exploring oak trees and all the critters that live in and around them. Part of the reason I was so stoked to illustrate it is that Marilyn didn't shy away from the smaller critters: this is a love letter to insect and arachnid life. There are spreads about orb weaver spiders, cicadas, katydids, springtails, caterpillars, squirrels— it's incredible, and it was so much fun to illustrate it.
That link takes you to Bookshop.org, and preordering through them will support your local indie bookstores. If you happen to be in Ithaca and want to preorder from Buffalo Street Books, you'll get a signed copy!
Pictured, in order: Cover, detail from the back cover, inchworm on the title page, lichen orb weaver spider, emerging Magicicada septendecim, acorn weevil in the leaf litter with springtails. All painted in gouache on hot press paper.
