Peeping Covers

Well, would you look at this! How about a peep at the covers for the two new books that I illustrated for Chronicle Books to be released next May 2012? Yes, you read that right - not one, but TWO new books:

New York, Baby!
NEW YORK, BABY!

San Francisco, Baby!
SAN FRANCISCO, BABY!

This is the start of a fun series aimed at the traveling baby and/or toddler - a way of looking at each of these iconic cities through their eyes. I had such a fun time working on these books! Hope you can see my enthusiasm through my artwork.

Check out the first mention of the books by Elizabeth Bird of A Fuse #8 Production on the SLJ blog the other day: Librarian Preview: Chronicle Books (Spring/Summer 2012)

Yay!

    Nice work, Ward! These remind me of those old Miroslav Sasek books (This is Rome...) Love it!

    You should do a tongue-in-cheek "Detroit, Baby!" Derelict buildings, vacant lots, etc.
