A Very Sneak Peak at Spring 2009

| | Comments (0)
What are we working on now? I am, of course, very excited to leak the news that our next book will be about Filipino food-- and seriously, what better topic for a book could there possibly be?

It's called Cora Cooks Pancit and is, of course, about a little girl named Cora who gets to help her Mama cook the traditional Filipino noodle dish pancit for the first time. The story is written by Dorina Lazo Gilmore, and artist Kristi Valiant is, as we speak, working on sketches.

Last week, Kristi posted a sneak peak at two sketches of Cora that you absolutely must see-- this is the most adorable little protagonist since Eloise. Oh, I can't get over how cute she is. Click over to Kristi's blog to see her-- right now. Go!
