Illustrations


Reading though the new picture books I found one with lovey illustrations. Half a World Away is by Libby Gleeson and illustrated by Freya Blackwood. It is a simple, sweet story about the power of friendship. The illustrations are water colors -- fairly monocromatic and simple but the use of red on each page focuses one on the important detail. The children's faces are sweet and a tad melancholy -- appropriate to the story line.
