GrandPré, known for her illustrations for the American editions of the Harry Potter novels and other story books, created this lively piece for use as the Children's Book Week poster for 2008. Includes 5 sheets of text on tracing paper including a headline, and 4 examples of text, presumably in GrandPré's hand.
