Sneak peak at Ipcar's Hardscrabble Harvest

    Working with designer extraordinaire Karen Hoots today to finish the redesign of Dahlov Ipcar's Hardscrabble Harvest, which is set for a September release. It will be our fourth release of an Ipcar classic, following The Little Fisherman, My Wonderful Christmas Tree, and The Cat at Night. It is always our goal to update a book's fonts and design to give the book a fresh look, but still keep a traditional look and feel. And, of course, with Dahlov's work it is important that the design enhance the wonderful illustrations. For The Little Fisherman and My Wonderful Christmas the desire to enhance her illustrations also prompted us to increase the size of the original books.
    While the inside pages are not quite done, we have approved the cover. Here is an advance look at the redesign. Good job Karen!
