Lola at the Library

I'm sure I've shared of libraries many times over, but I had to share a new book I found (at my library, of course). Lola at the Library, written by Anna McQuinn and illustrated by Rosalind Beardshaw shares a little girl's love for and routine at her library.
The story teaches a little about how the library works and what you might find there outside of just the aisles of books: music, storytime, socializing, community. Rosalind's illustrations are so charming - and she shows such care in painting gestures in hands and feet, even with her loose, stylized characters.

thanks for posting this Gina....Such cute art! Rosalind Beardshaw is the illustrator of one of my FAVORITE books: Lamb-a-roo! Her website is simple but adorable. Love her style.

I saw this book at B&N over the summer and thought it was the cutest thing! I was attracted immediately to the illustrations. So lovely!!

I am going to look for that other book you are mentioning MacDeb.

I LOVE this book. Rosalind Beardshaw's art is wonderful. Right now I'm enjoying the sequel to this book called Lola Loves Stories. The story for that is wonderful too. My son loves it.
