Check out my newest book WIGGLE YOUR TOES! A Book to pull,fluff, and wiggle!
I have always been interested in folk art from around the world, Indian miniatures, Mexican ceramics, fabrics, Chagall, Matisse, children's art, and primitive painting, and I love to paint and experiment with pattern, texture, collage and color. The careers I've had--as a costume designer, a quilt maker, a fabric artist, and a graphic designer--have taken all these interests into account. Looking back, I can see that these passions and career choices have played a large part in influencing me to become a children's book author and illustrator.
But most importantly, it was after my husband and I adopted our daughter from Guatemala that I was inspired to do a children's book for her. My first book, Over the Moon, was the story of that magical experience of welcoming our daughter Lena into our lives. I painted, I drew, I collaged, and I wrote, and after working very hard... a beautiful book was born! Twenty-two books later, my daughter--now fourteen years old--still is an inspiration for me.
I am fascinated by babies and little kids. The simplest words and gestures can make them laugh. Sometimes standing in line at the supermarket and watching kids in grocery carts, my best ideas are born.
I am fascinated by people from all over the world and what they look like and how they live and the differences that make us all unique.
When an idea pops into my head I ask these questions:
Will a child want to read this book?
Will a parent want to read this book with their child?
Will this book make a parent and child feel something?
Is there something visual here that will hold a child's interest?
Will a child see something in a different way after reading this book?
If the answer is yes, then I know I'm on the right track.
I am very lucky to get to do what I do. Everyday I go into my studio and have fun. Don't get me wrong, some days are very frustrating. Sometimes the colors are all wrong and the words don't sound right. But after I work at it for a while...and try to do it a different way...and think...and change the words or colors...and try some more...suddenly, there it is--a great page of writing, or a great illustration. And nothing is more satisfying than that.

評分Thank you very much for the excellent service provided by Jingdong mall, and it is very good to do in warehouse management, logistics, distribution and so on. Delivery in a timely manner, distribution staff is also very enthusiastic, and sometimes inconvenient to receive the time, but also arranged for time to be delivered.
評分以為是紙闆書,實際不是,很薄的一本,而且印刷質量很差,不值得購買,一點兒也不像原版書,內容還可以。
評分給娃娃看的。不知道他能不能看懂,哈哈哈~!!
評分發貨快,在京東買滿幾個書架瞭
評分內頁不是硬紙闆,比較薄,內容還不錯,活動價可以入。
評分很可愛的書,寶寶很喜歡,每天都要拉著我讀給她聽,小孩子的書真不能用成年人的心理去揣摩,也不是說讀瞭這本書就一定要明白什麼道理,抱著這種心態讀繪本是要不得的。
