As much as we love Spencer’s version of Gorillas in the Kitchen, his was but one of many wonderful books kids sent us as part of this contest. Today we’re going to share another book we wish we could have published. Its author and illustrator, Melody Tang, has forever won our hearts with her hilarious story, charming illustration style, and fantastic drawings of gorillas. I could go on and on about how much we love this book, but perhaps it makes more sense to let Melody’s work speak for itself.
And so, it is my genuine pleasure to introduce…
Thanks, Melody, for sharing your book with us. You are truly a writer and an artist. Robbi and I, who can only do one thing each, admire you for being so talented in both areas. Please keep on writing and drawing. And whatever you do, make sure every gorilla you ever draw has this hairdo.
