WHOA PANDA! proofs in the house!
A magical moment. I keep reminding myself to breathe.
My first look at a hardcopy of my new picture book—written and illustrated by yours truly.
In this proof, I see the final colors and layout.
A title page design I had not yet seen.
Surprises and fun with each page turn.
It’s SO good, y’all!
Flat sheets, not bound, but they vibrate with the care and expertise of the art team and everyone at Nancy Paulsen Books. We’ve made something special together.
With this step closer to publication—and into the hands of kids, parents, teachers, librarians and their shelves—I am even more filled with joy.
Cannot wait to share it with you!
