Dutton Children's Books has just released, "How to Raise Mom and Dad" by Josh Lerman with watercolor illustrations by our artist Greg Clarke. The picture book features an older sister showing her younger brother how to train their parents to get what he wants.
Greg Clarke writes, "When this manuscript came across my desk, the timing was fortuitous. I loved the premise of a big sister schooling her little brother in the fine art of parent rearing. But more importantly, the kids in the book were my kids--two kids roughly the same ages (and gender order) as my own, and with the same arch view of their parents. And it was well written to boot. It's not often I get to collaborate with my children on a job, with Greta and Julian ultimately serving as technical advisors throughout the sketch and finish phases."
Kirkus Reviews says, "Clarke illustrates each recommended course of conduct as a set piece, nicely strung together as pearls of sisterly wisdom," and School Library Journal writes, "The gouache [sic] illustrations are as joyful as the text." "Greg Clarke's whimsical depictions add to the humor," says Scholastic Parent and Child Magazine.
