I just received a copy of The Two Sisters Cafe by Elena Yates Eulo and Samantha Harper Macy, illustrated by Pablo Ferro, better known for his striking movie title sequences than as a book illustrator.
“In this unforgettable tale of a fifties café in
northern Kentucky, the sleepy little town of Willow Creek is steeped in
good fellowship, magic, and strange occurrences. In this spot, without
so much as a dot on the map to hint of its existence, the two sisters,
Alma and Vannie May, often show up unannounced when most needed, and
their business, The Two Sisters’ Café, is open from early morning until
the last customer of the night chooses to leave, full of something more
sustaining than even the sisters’ amazing food.”
From the man who started his career in the comic books, check out Ferro’s illustration animation on the Ferro blog here.
