Birds from my Window…
…and the Antics they get up to; the newest book by avid bird-dude Ranjit Lal with Scholastic. I’ve read his writings on birds as a little kid, and it was quite a thrill to work for the cover of this one! It’s a chatty, neighbourly account of the birds Mr Lal literally has a birds’ eye view upon. These beautiful pictures of my book cover and title page are taken by the awesome Archana Srinivas, who’s got an eye for the pretty things lying all around waiting to be noticed!

The Cat’s Underbelly.
Quit talking, watch Lou lie there smoking,
Singeing a sleeping feline furcoat. Observe
The whimpering whippet whisper wheezing words
Into the prominent man’s prominent ears.
