Lunar New Year Post # 2

Here's the other book I'm currently working non-stop on.  This one is written by the great Jerry Spinelli, and it's called "Mama Seeton's Whistle".  The story is about a young mother who uses a two-note whistle to call her children home.  It's very sweet, and very very nostalgic.  I kept the palette almost black and white for that reason, with small punches of color to represent the whistle.  Here's a spread, let me know what you think...


Here's a sketch of the cover too.  Not finalized yet, but you get the rough idea...


Tomorrow night, I'll post from the book "Bo of Ballard Creek", which as the winner of the 2014 Scott O'Dell Book for Fiction award (yay!).
