NEWS AND EVENTS

Publishers Weekly had this to say about Up! Up! Up! It's Apple-Picking Time, "...the apples and the orchard emerge from lushly painted papers, with overlapping brushstrokes of varying greens, yellows, pinks and reds creating dimension and movement." Quoting School Library Journal, "The paper-collage, color illustrations highlight the warm and jovial interactions. The varying perspectives of the art nicely complement this sensory experience." And from Kirkus Reviews, "Using painted-paper collage to create a wide range of surface textures and artfully blended colors, Harvill sandwiches scenes of smiling figures amid lush, rough-barked trees between endpapers dotted with common apple varieties."

Praise for Sitting Down To Eat:
"...Harvill's kinetic-looking, highly stylized cut-paper illustrations match the story's energy and achieve an offbeat attitude..." - School Library Journal.
"With Harvill's frenetic cut-paper collages, this cumulative rhyming story is playful and lively." - Kirkus Reviews.
"The rhythm is bouncy and the collages full of charm." - NEWSWEEK
