I was lucky to receive an advanced copy proof of this adorable book that is expected to come out in February.
When No One is Watching by Eileen Spinelli & Illustrated by David Johnson
This is a sweet story about a shy little girl who loves to
do many things when others aren’t looking. She likes to dance, growl and cheer,
she even likes to play basketball and shoot the ball into the hoop. But when
everyone is watching she hides behind the couch like a cat, she passes the basketball
to her friend, and she won’t sing but rather hum. This is a story about being shy and knowing that nothing is
wrong with it at all. Written in rhyme with wonderful ink drawing illustrations
with watercolor and some digital manipulation. You begin to fall in love with
this little girl with the wild curly hair. I know I did.
