News from Eerdmans & Elsewhere
- In Search of the Little Prince by Bimba Landmann was featured in “Joy and Imagination,” the collection of spring children’s books reviews by Foreword Reviews. “Every page of this book,” writes the reviewer, “is an adventure. . . . This heartfelt biography inspires stargazing and internal reflection.” The article also featured this illustration from the book at the top of the article.
- Speaking of Bimba Landmann, she was kind enough to answer Five Questions this week on Eerdlings. “I tried to make the reader see normal things as non-normal things, as magical things. Love gives us this power. I hope the book gives children the feeling they can go toward the things they love, always.”
