Shelf Candy: The Magician's Elephant, by Kate DiCamillo

I'm excited for Kate DiCamillo's new book, The Magician's Elephant, which will be released September 8. The cover is beautiful — it's illustrated by painter Yoko Tanaka. She didn't illustrate The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, my favorite of DiCamillo's books, but the covers are both beautiful and appear to glow.
