News! Lucy Knisley vs. The Giver.
March 25, 2010 at 9:46 am meg 17 comments
Hello! Just your friendly host Meg here, I wanted to announce a little change in the lineup– due to unexpected busy schedules, we are for now waving goodbye to Daniel Krall (and looking forward to seeing all the wonderful new illustration work he’s producing!). While this is sad and we will continue to wonder of the awesomeness of Robin Hood, there is a ray of sunshine on the horizon! And that ray taking his place is Lucy Knisley, a very inspiring comic artist.
Who are you and what do you do?
I’m a comic artist and author of “French Milk,” “Pretty Little Book,” “Radiator Days,” and the webcomic, “Stop Paying Attention.” I’m 25, and I live in Chicago.
Why did you pick the story you chose?
I read this book
Lucy is a very talented cartoonist and artmaker so we’re all really thrilled to have her on board as a Picture Book Report contributor. Her first piece for the project will be shared April 22, so please do keep your eyes peeled (and of course, keep coming back for all the other wonderful illustrations!). In the meantime, why not check out her portfolio, and her comics especially?

For a moment I thought there was a picture book of the Giver in the works, illustrated by you. I am sad that this does not appear to be the case. I loved that book when I was younger, and haven’t been able to find a copy in recent years.

Most definitely one of my favorite books from grade school!
Have you read the Messenger and Gathering Blue? They’re the second and third book and kind of tie the three books into a neat little package.
Love your art!

I love your pictures! I am currently teaching The Giver to my freshman and your images are a great additional resource I can share with them to help them visualize the story. WONDERFUL!!
