Thyra Heder is giving us a behind the scenes look at how she illustrated PENNY AND JELLY, written by Maria Gianferrari.

IMAGE 1 First thumb sketches. I always draw very small and very rough in the beginning stages so I can try out lots of options without getting exhausted.

IMAGE 2 After redrawing very rough sketches for a while, I tighten up the drawings. This is the stage right before I start final painting.

IMAGE 3 This is Lucy my friend Julia's dog, who I used as reference for Jelly. She is a total nut and I love her.

IMAGE 4 A page of my work while I was trying to figure out what Penny would look like, how old she would be, and what she was wearing.

IMAGE 5 As I refined the look of Penny I had to focus on details like shoes, socks and, of course, Jelly!

IMAGE 6 My very first page of sketches trying to figure out what Jelly should look like.

IMAGE 7 The final cover for Penny and Jelly: The School Show.

Today we’re learning more about PENNY AND JELLY author, Maria Gianferrari! We’re hoping she can teach us to use lollygag, hornswoggle, and persnickety in the same sentence.

For more from Maria, visit Emu’s Debuts, where Maria is a contributing blogger.

Image 6: Cover roughs

Image 7: Experimenting with acrylics and vellum

Image 8: Painted text was pain in the bee-hind, so I later created my own font based on these letter forms.

“Picture books are important because they are a child’s first experience with reading, and they have tremendous power to expand that child’s world in so many ways.”

We chatted with Josh Schneider about the making of his new picture book, Everybody Sleeps (But Not Fred). Here’s an inside look at some of Josh’s early art and ideas for the book.

IMAGE 1: I was doodling one day when I discovered this pajama-clad boy named Fred. He looked like he was ready for bed, but not ready to go to bed. In fact, he looked like trouble. So I came up with some trouble for him to get into.

IMAGE 2: Here is a sketch of Fred getting ready for bed (and trouble).

IMAGE 3: Fred en route to trouble (you can see the top of his head in the window). Poor, unsuspecting sheep.

IMAGE 4: And finally: some of the trouble Fred finds. (If you look closely, you’ll find a Spinal Tap reference).

Josh Schneider is the Theodor Seuss Geisel Award-winning author/illustrator behind the newly released EVERYBODY SLEEPS (BUT NOT FRED). We’re very happy he decided not to be a lawyer.
