We are wild about having Wild Brunch released today with amazing paper relief illustrations by Giles Laroche and delightful poems by David L. Harrison about how creatures eat. Published by Charlesbridge.

“I wanted to write about some of the incredible ways in which animals adapt to eat the food they require.” - David L. Harrison

“So how do I create the cut paper relief illustrations for WILD BRUNCH? I begin by drawing the creature’s parts on a textured paper surface in pencil. Then I cut out what I’ve drawn: the head, body, te****le, tusk, leg, tail, tongue, eye, ear, snout…..and paint the parts before assembling them with glue. The same method applies for the animal’s habitat and its food. The most rewarding part of this process is when I finally put the scene together starting with the background: sea, forest, beach, eucalyptus tree and placing the creature in it.” - Giles Laroche  A full interview with the creators of Wild Brunch is available at the blog Writing and Illustrating by Kathy Temean. Bon appétit!
