Books I read today

The Story Blanket - lovely illos by Elena Odriozola - (whom I can't seem to find much about, except is Spanish and has illustrated a lot of books in Spain) which kind of reminded me of your work.  Story is sweet but I'm not sure it would mean much to children.

And Keeper of Soles - with goofy, yet really good illustrations by Yayo.  (Also not finding much on him online.)  But the story is quite interesting - death comes to a cobbler's door to collect him and the cobbler tricks death into letting him live by making him shoes.  You should read it, it's quite good.

  1. You know its funny, I've realized there are very distinct ways books look in other countries. There are a couple of Spanish illustrators I like and they have the same kind of look to their work:
