Trip to Sleeping Bear Press!

5-24-12

Had a chance to read the galley of this great new Sleeping Bear Press picture book scheduled for September 2012 release. Delia's Dull Day, written and cleverly illustrated by Andy Myer, reminds me of the old favorite Nothing Ever Happens on My Block (Ellen Raskin, 1967), on a much more vibrant and visually stimulating scale. Delia recounts a seemingly dull day, but the illustrations depict a completely extraordinary day! There are some amazing things going on all around us, if we just take a moment to notice! Loved it! Can't wait to share it with students and teachers alike!
