Fuse No. 8

Elizabeth Bird takes a quick look:

I am fond of author/illustrator John Segal. Ever since his The Lonely Moose I've been rather charmed by his gentle watercolors and seemingly effortless style. His newest endeavor Far Far Away! tackles a subject I've not really seen in a picture book before; running away from home. How many can you name? Runaway Bunny doesn't count either. Now Michael Green was, to put it mildly, super enthused about this book. He basically read the whole thing to us, showing us original art from the title, mentioning that Segal was an SCBWI find. Whatever the case, it's pretty cute. Something to look for.
