STARRED Kirkus Review for “Finding the Speed of Light”

Published on

I’m SO excited to share our STARRED Kirkus Review for “Finding the Speed of Light: The 1676 Discovery that Dazzled the World”

Kirkus states “Evans tucks diagrams and mathematical calculations as well as banter and fanciful details into her lighthearted cartoon illustrations, wedging single and sequential panels of Romer and others at work into views of starscapes and planetary surfaces… A significant, unjustly obscure highlight from modern science’s early days.”

Can you hear me squealing? Did I say I’m EXCITED!!!!! I hope you all love this book as much as I do when hits the shelves March 12, 2019!

The Stars in the Sky

Published on

My search for a fairy tale to illustrate finally ended with a beautiful old English folk tale titled “The Stars in the Sky”. The tale is about a young girl who wanted nothing to play with but the stars in the sky, so one evening she goes seeking the stars. When she comes to a dam, she sees the stars shining in the water and attempts to catch one, but when they keep slipping through her fingers she travels on …

The tale continues but I wanted to share some of my initial sketches as the story and illustrations begin to take shape.
