THIS OLD BAND Picture Book Update

Great news! My picture book, THIS OLD BAND, has an illustrator and a release date! The illustrator is talented Matt Loveridge and the release date is June 2014 from Sky Pony Press! Here is the Publisher's Marketplace announcement:

"Tamera Will Wissinger and illustrated by Matt Loveridge's THIS OLD BAND, in which a cowboy band counts down from ten to one all day (and night) long in this Western take on a classic children's song, to Julie Matysik at Sky Pony Press, in a nice deal, for publication in Summer 2014 (World).”

I’m really looking forward to seeing the illustrations that Matt develops for THIS OLD BAND. To give you an idea of his style, here’s a link to his website: http://www.mattloveridge.com/ 

I love the joy and whimsy of Matt's art and I'm so excited to see what he develops for my cowboy band. (I've seen one sketch drawing - and I just love where the illustrations are heading!) He’s working on cover art now, and he’ll begin working on the interior illustrations soon. I’ll share more when I can.
