Have you met Sergio Ruzzier?

Moon, Have You Met My Mother? is a book of poems by Karla Kuskin, illustrated by Sergio Ruzzier, published in 2003.

I love it. I ran into it those many years ago while working at the Eastgate Borders store in Cincinnati, Ohio. No fanfare accompanied its release--the single copy was quietly shelved in the poetry section and as far as I know, never featured or noticed by anyone but me. I, however, snapped it up immediately. Ruzzier has done many colorful picture books, but I always think of him in black and white, since the Kuskin book is. Click Here for a link to his website--enjoy!
