I had a sneak peek at Leeza Hernandez's art for 2019's "A Universe of Stories" Early Lit & Children's Manuals and I love it!  Will be able to share it with you all in the coming months.
Access information to the 2018 Manuals, along with catalogs to CSLP's promotional materials via Upstart and Scholastic, were mailed to libraries in November 2018.
