Adorable Preview For THE MANDLAORIAN AND CHILD Children's Book
Here’s a preview of the upcoming children’s Star Wars book The Mandalorian and Child, which chronicles the adventures of Din Djarin and Grogu in artist Jeffrey Brown’s distinct style. Brown previously created the other Star Wars books Darth Vader and Son and Vader's Little Princess.
Lucasfilm Publishing has released a first look at the cover of The Mandalorian and Child, as well as some of the interior art pages featuring other characters such as IG-11, Kuill, Ahsoka Tano the baby Rancor from The Book of Boba Fett, and more.
Brown told StarWars.com: "Years before the Mandalorian series premiered, someone asked me to draw Yoda as a baby, so I just drew him in a diaper. I had no idea that someday I'd get to watch a show with 'Baby Yoda' -- but I've enjoyed seeing Grogu become so much more than that. Getting to construct my own take on Mando and Grogu is refreshingly fun, and the way their relationship mixes friendship and family is the kind of heartwarming feels I love to put in my work. Especially when it comes to drawing IG droids, stormtroopers, rancors, and Boba Fett, of course!"
Michael Siglain, Lucasfilm Publishing's creative director added: "We are beyond thrilled to welcome Jeffrey Brown back into a galaxy far, far away," added Michael Siglain, Lucasfilm Publishing's creative director. "Like with Vader and Son and all of his subsequent and adorable titles, Jeffrey brings his signature style and smart sense of humor to the world of The Mandalorian, and the result is both heartfelt and hilarious. Fans of the show and fans of Jeffrey's earlier books are in for a real treat!"
Look for The Mandalorian and Child in stores in fall 2023.
