The cover of CLIMBING THE STAIRS is gorgeous and absolutely splendid and wonderful, but the first time I saw it, the heroine's head was veiled - which wasn't accurate - and I could easily see how the talented artist had made that error (it's historical fiction, of course, not nonfiction, but it does show the importance of checking with the author for accuracy, even in the case of fiction). Your post also made me think of an author friend, Mitali Perkins (who writes fiction) but who spoke about what a wonderful and close relationship she has with the illustrator of one of her books.Padma Venkatramanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17059515941697258942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1337206901491734394.post-4494264876291758842008-05-16T10:03:00.000-04:002008-05-16T10:03:00.000-04:00I, too, love Robin Brickman's sculpted paper colla...I, too, love Robin Brickman's sculpted paper collages. I became an admirer of her art when I got A LOG's LIFE. Last year I had an opportunity to see some of Robin's original illustrations for WINGS and ONE NIGHT IN THE CORAL SEA. Absolutely gorgeous! I hope the two of you will do more books together in the future.Elaine Magliarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09829330276633865868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1337206901491734394.post-73205196130292203842008-05-16T08:31:00.000-04:002008-05-16T08:31:00.000-04:00My son saw the cover of REIGN OF THE SEA DRAGONS a...My son saw the cover of REIGN OF THE SEA DRAGONS and said, "That's just the kind of book I was talking about. Can we get that?" I remember our recent visit to the Museum of Natural History where he lingered in the exhibit hall saying he wished there was more information. Great topic that clearly has a waiting audience.Linda Salzmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17217322360480267856noreply@blogger.com
