I started this with watercolor pencils, but the colors were so soft and the book cover is so vibrant, that I got out the trusty gouache set and went over it all with those colors. I'm glad I did; the result is much better than it was.

Momo
EDM Challenge #27 Draw a book. Every time I look at this book, Momo, I think of my friend Naomi, who (with her husband) gave these out as wedding favors at their wedding. She is a children's librarian and in an early conversation, he brought up a children's book she'd never heard of. She was impressed, time passed, and now they're married! It's a great book, by the author of The Neverending Story (it's very different from that book, though).
