Sing a Song of Bedtime, a collection of nursery rhymes and lullabies has arrived in bookstores- yay! Also available in French.
I’m over the moon excited to start sharing this book with readers big and small.
Ouch! An acorn bounced off my head this morning while I was walking in the woods. One of our family favourite books is Werner Zimmerman’s beautiful telling of Henny Penny. Now I know how Henny Penny feels.
Here is some of the artwork created this spring in the “Art of Illustration” program led by librarian Sarah Balint at the Kingston Frontenac Public Library. The artists participation were ages 8 -12. Outstanding work!
I’ll be presenting my NEW book Sing a Song of Bedtime at the Toronto Word on the Street Festival, September 27. hope to see you there!
Visiting the Daintree Rainforest in Australia was like walking into the pages of one of my favourite picture books, Where the Forest Meets the Sea. You can read the AW Booknerds post here.
No, this is not a pizza party! Now that it has ben photographed, all the artwork from Sing a Song of Bedtime has been tucked away in these boxes.
I love this list, so many of my personal favourite books are here. Canada makes great books! I’m honoured to find 4 of my books are included: The Party; Fox Walked Alone; Perfect Snow; and Song a Song of Mother Goose.
Here is the plasticine lettering for the French and English covers of my new book. The cover artwork is created and photographed separately. After the letters are photographed they are added digitally to the cover art. This way the title of the book can change for any other languages the book is published in.
All the drawings for Sing a Song of Bedtime are finished and ready to be created in plasticine. They are pinned up on a board in front of my desk where I can look at them for an overview of the book and to keep track of my progress.
