Congratulations to Alastair Heim!
Jennifer Greene at Clarion has bought world rights to Heartlander Alastair Heim‘s next picture book, The Great Puppy Invasion, about what happens when a horde of puppies shows up in Strictville, a no-nonsense, no-fun town that has never seen puppies before. Kim Smith will illustrate; publication is set for fall 2017. Kelly Sonnack at the Andrea Brown Literary Agency represented both Heim and Smith. http://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/childrens/childrens-book-news/article/70719-rights-report-week-of-june-20-2016.hthttp://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/childrens/childml

People are finally starting to love flies! Here are some of the alternate covers that illustrator Jennifer Plecas created:
