Lyric McKerrigan, Secret Librarian
When the evil Dr. Glockenspiel threatens to destroy every book in the world, only one person can stop him: Lyric McKerrigan, secret librarian. Will she be able to defeat Dr. Glockenspiel's army of giant moths? You'll have to read my first published picture book to find out. (That link goes to Indiebound. If you don't have a local indie bookstore, you can also find it on Amazon.) The art is by the Eisner-winning Caldecott honoree Vera Brosgol (previously, previously) and she is FANTASTIC.

You can see a few highlights of Vera's art at Books4YourKids.

Meanwhile, on my Facebook page, I offer my own appreciation of the brilliance she brings to the book. (Click on the first image and scroll through for my comments.)

Vera Brosgol, of "Anya's Ghost" fame! And you got her illustrating your words? Bravo!

...and I just came back from my comic book club, which is wonderful, because the author of CWR lent me the book, which IS GREAT!
