Rotem Moscovich at Knopf has acquired, at auction, Euphemia and the Nowhere Spring, a picture book by debut author-illustrator Kelsey Ó Ciardha, about an eager, stir-crazy lamb who decides to throw a birthday party for Spring to bait it out of hiding, but realizes there's someone she must say goodbye to first. Publication is slated for spring 2028; Erica Rand Silverman at Stimola Literary Studio negotiated the two-book deal for world rights.
