The wonderful fireball of a writer Kristen Faulconer walked into my work today and we started chatting about her SCBWI gear and within 10 minutes I was registered, inspired and had a list of writers and illustrators and conferences to look into! So nice when a great resource just walks through the door! I will also be meeting with a good friend and published illustrator, Bobbi Hunter, this week to get geared up on the children's book publishing world. Huzzah!
So! Children's books! Love 'em, always have. From cute little ones to unique contemporary ones, I love them all! I still hoard my old ones I had when I was little. I was obsessed with Calvin and Hobbes comics and anything by Bill Watterson (I'm still pretty obsessed...) and the illustrations in The Paper Bag Princess by Robert N. Munsch.
More recently, I've been in love with Jen Corace's illustrations in Little Pea and her series with Amy Krouse Rosenthal, as well as Suzy Lee's simple illustrations in her book Shadows.
those little peas are adorable... thanks for posting them... now i want to make my own little peas ^_^
ReplyDeleteI love them too! Have you seen her other work? Check out Little Hoot and Little Oink, they're just as sweet :)
DeleteGood one! Interesting article over here. It’s pretty worth enough for me. Also visit this article about online counter, where you may learn about tally counter tools for counting people, objects, exercises, inventories, sporting events, and other things.

ReplyDeleteAmazing! I am loving these books. I am an academic helper, working for an online class help website. As I work from home, I always need new activities to keep my kids busy so they cannot disturb me while working. I wanted to arrange activities from they can learn as well. I was looking for children's books, definitely going to order these.
