Shout It Out!

We're really proud of Mike Wohnoutka. Art from his newest book, Jack's House, has been selected to be part of the Society of Illustrators Original Art Exhibition in New York City. The show runs from October 16th to November 26th at the Museum of American Illustration in New York. One original illustration from Jack's House will be featured in the show. Add this honor to the great review the book received in Kirkus and Holiday House choosing Jack's House for the cover of its fall catalogue, and we can say this book has gotten off to a great start. Those last two honors are shared by Karen Magnuson Beil, the author of Jack's House. (posted 21 August 2008)
