Bryan Collier's piece with the full title of Where I Live We Sleep Under Quilts, is from the book Your Moon, My Moon, a grandmother's words to a faraway child, by Patricia MacLachlan. Bryan use of texturing and collage was inspired by the African-American quilt-making tradition of his grandmother, however her creative craft was never discussed. Instead, it was something Bryan "bore witness" to -- with quilts in the home, on the bed, like a "silent gift" or "seed that was planted."

One of the things Jessica Love loves about printmaking as a medium is that "hand tinting" affords you several different iterations of the same idea, while still being all different. With this particular run, she was interested in a snow blanketed landscape as a mirror for the sky, with this version being that of an ecstatic dawn sky.

Original Title: Alpine Field from "Tomorrow is Waiting" This spread is from the first book that Aaron Meshon illustrated but did not write and he loved the freedom and challenge. He interpreted the book as a wish from a parent to a young child, and the dreams and wishes parents have for their children. He wanted water to represent "life" and travel. Each page has a child representing different cultures and families as well as hidden animal families. Illustrations are from his favorite places on earth including The New Zealand Alps, Japanese hot Spring Valleys, Icelandic waterfalls and picturesque villages with canals -- all which have given him energy and love. He added that perhaps he is drawn to them (no pun intended) because he seems to gravitate towards places where the earth's crust is thin and the warmth of the earth and the power spots come through. He had fun making this book as a celebration of his young son and his own wishes for Kiley's wishes and her family.
