It was very fun book signing at Books of Wonder today.
I did an illustration for the Babybug magazine Nov/Dec 09 issue awhile ago and I just received my copies.
Only a Witch Can Fly got a lovely review from NYTimes today. And it is my very first NYTimes book review~!
Only A Witch Can Fly(written by Alison McGhee) release today! Please check out nearest local or online book store.
Praise for Only a Witch Can Fly:
Here is what Kirkus said about Only A Witch Can Fly and it is star review!"If you were a young witch, who had not yet flown, / and the dark night sky held a round yellow moon..." Well, you'd want to fly, wouldn't you? McGhee's gently rhyming direct address coaxes out of readers a yearning they may never have known existed: to "[h]old tight to your broom / and float past the stars, / and turn to the heavens and soar." Yoo's gorgeous, muscular woodcuts, colored in subdued greens, browns and oranges with thick, night-black lines, tell the story of one young witch who, unable to sleep, takes herself outside with the support of her Cat and a brown velvet Bat-and with her little brother as silent witness-and, after a flop in the pumpkins, rises on her broom at last. Like its protagonist, this book soars. (Picture book. 3-7)
I had an interview with a Korean picture book magazine last month and I just received a copy from the editor. Many thanks to Soojung Kim the editor of Grimcheck SangSang. It was great to have coffee with her.
