A rare peek inside an illustrator's process- YOU WILL BE MY FRIEND! by Peter Brown

So my daughter's Open House and Book Fair was tonight at her school and like a good parent I *cough* skipped class and went to that instead.  (Ever tried reasoning with a six year old that you have to miss her event because you have class?  Yeah, I wasn't winning that argument anytime soon, and I could use the night "off" anyway.)  While there, I found and fell in love with a new book for bedtime-
