I’m happy to announce that John Rowe has completed all of the paintings for I Wonder. I went to visit John at his studio yesterday, and it was magical to be surrounded by all of the illustrations for the book – the paintings are truly spectacular!
I’m also happy to announce that graphic designer, Sara Gillingham, is officially on board and will be working on the design and layout of the book. John and I are making some final adjustments to the illustrations and text as Sara begins her work, and early in 2013, the files will be delivered to the printer!
