Needless to say that I was disappointed that PGW and PBG did not receive a nod from the NYTBR. We have some b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l books on our publisher lists.
However, Suzy Lee (of WAVE fame) made the list again with SHADOW from Chronicle Books. If you are a Suzy fan, check out MIRROR from Seven Footer Press. (9781934734391)
Stunning in its simplicity and grace, Mirror is visual tour-de-force that requires no words to tell its universal tale. Author and illustrator Suzy Lee masterfully creates a world where a little girl explores and dances — at first cautiously, later exuberantly — with her reflection in the mirror. When discord between the girl and her reflection surfaces, Lee’s unforgettable story provides a gentle reminder that our actions have consequences. A beautiful book sure to be embraced by the many fans of Wave, Suzy Lee’s Mirror strengthens her growing reputation as one of the most exciting new authors to watch.
