Building an ARC

Yesterday, I received my Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) of THE ADVENTURES OF A SOUTH POLE PIG. A chapter book by author, Chris Kurtz and published by Harcourt Houghton Mifflin.

I did the cover and 23 black and white interior illustrations. Publishers send out these advance copies of the book to reviewers, librarians, bloggers, and various big cheeses in the kids' publishing world for comment. There are still uncorrected typos, it's paperback, and the page layouts are a little wonky. 

But, it's so wonderful to see these characters come to life and live in a book!
