    Jim LaMarche has been mixing magic with the everyday since 1992, when his illustrations for Laura Krauss Melmed’s
The Rainbabies
earned him international acclaim. Jim’s illustrations “indicate a deep kind of thinking about illustration in children’s books,” said the
New York Times
.

Jim’s first venture into writing earned him similar praise. “This dazzling picture book is an artistic triumph,” raved
School Library Journal
of
The Raft
. “The luminous illustrations evoke a magical aura,” added the Horn Book.

Of his illustrations for The Elves and the Shoemaker, “LaMarche creates a set of honey-toned illustrations that make the familiar Grimm tale less an odd encounter with the supernatural than a warm-hearted exchange of gifts,” said
Kirkus Reviews
in a starred review.

Up
is the second book Jim has both written and illustrated.
