The former librarian Susan M.'s blog From Tots to Teens recently posted a wonderful review of Broom, Zoom! in which she points out, among other things, that while this book is about a witch and a monster and the moon, it is definitely not a Halloween book. They do not reference the holiday at all, making it a wonderful book for sharing and reading at any time during the year.
Thank you!
P.S.: only one note: while it is true that the color was done digitally, the line was my usual good old pen & ink on paper!
Thank you for your nice comments, Sergio! I do think it is a truly wonderful book, and my little girls love it too! I went back to check my copy of the book, and it says "The illustrations were rendered digitally", whic as a reviewer (not an artist) makes me think it was totally done digitally. Your colors are so vivid and clear! I really use the front matter to figure out how things were created - it's unfortunate when they sell your hard work short! Thanks again!!
