Vallejo’s “Jazz Day,” written by Roxane Orgill and published by Candlewick Press, was the recipient of the 2016 Boston Globe Horn Book award for best Picture Book.

Hello. I greatly admire your work. I have a question. How do you get the apparently pure(or as pure as teh paper) white highlights in your charcoal drawings such as in the eyes of the dude in "Cap", "Elma", and "Heather"? Thanks!
