Cover Reveal for WINDOWS by Julia Denos and E.B. Goodale
Hello, Julia!
Julia Denos: What's up Mr. Schu!
Hello, E.B.!
E.B. Goodale: Hi John! Thanks for helping us share a sneak peek of Windows!
Thank you both for visiting Watch. Connect. Read. to
finish my sentences and reveal the STUNNING cover for WINDOWS. Shall we get started?
Julia and E.B.: YES!
Windows tells the story of evening in a local
neighborhood. It's all about that crepuscular time between night and day when
the lights turn on in the windows down your street. Taking a walk through your
neighborhood becomes a new experience.
E.B. Goodale's cover illustration captures the heart of that
feeling: being outside, being inside. In just one moment you can pass by many
worlds different from your own, but all of them "home".
Windows is my debut picture book text (as
author only) for Candlewick Press. I wrote it with Emily in mind. I've always been
moved by her atmospheric art and we have a similar taste in the stories we
love, so it felt right to begin making books together. It's an honor to work
with her.

When I received the manuscript for Windows, I actually cried! It is a sweet, simple story that highlights the
beauty in the everyday and sparks joy in my heart.
The cover illustration for Windows reveals the essence of the story by capturing that ephemeral
moment in the evening as day turns to night.
Julia Denos and I first met working in a children's bookstore together many years
ago and have been best buds ever since. This collaboration has been many years
in the making and so we are VERY excited to share it with the world!
Look for Windows on October 17, 2017.
