At 7-Imp, Maria Gulemetova’s BEYOND THE FENCE, released in the UK in 2017 (pubbed in the U.S. last year & just nominated for the Greenaway Awards). The tame-to-wild narrative of this book is not new to children's lit, but Gulemetova takes it to new levels: https://t.co/N8bn7CHssE

Saddened to hear of the death of children's author and illustrator John Burningham. He won the 1963 and 1970 Kate Greenaway Medals for British children's book illustration & was nominated for the Hans Christian Andersen Award.
