A Big Surprise for Little Card

40 pp. | Candlewick | February, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-7485-4 $16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Anna Raff. Little Card and Long Card wonder what their grown-up jobs will entail. After a mix-up, each finds the perfect profession: library card and birthday card, respectively. The original premise is visually well realized in cheery illustrations that incorporate ink washes, stamps, and digital textures. The celebratory tale breathes new life into the theme of paper in the digital age.
