Some lovely mail came in

Just received some brand new shiny copies of a book
I contributed to and worked on last year

It's a very cute, sturdy and super thick book with a squishy padded cover, love those.
It's filled with tons of animal stories, one for each day of the year.
It was a labor of love between me and a group of talented artists.

I illustrated over 60 stories.
Inside among many wonderful things you'll find..

Thank you Fay! That is the biggest reward.. Picturing kids being read these stories at night and their little eyes fixed on the illustrations. :o)

Cómo te felicito, Ali!
Me alegra tanto que tus ilustraciones, tan hermosas puedan lucirse en un libro así! son pura ternura y se ve impecable la edición!
Yo también me imagino el gozo de muchos chiquilines con una belleza así ante sus hojos :)

Aww thanks Tracy!! It was a lot of work to be honest. But it was a nice change to work on individual stories and have that many range of animals to illustrate. I enjoyed it. Thank you! :o)

June!!

I'm sooo sorry. I mistakenly hit delete instead of publish on my email alert of your comment. I was using my iphone and my huge finger hit the wrong thing..

This is a new feature for me, I had to do it because of the amount of annoying comments lately is getting out of hand. People trying to sell things etc.

Anyway I wanted to let you know I did see it. I can copy it from my email box but I can't publish it. Here it is and thank you so much! hugs:

"No book should be without a disco dancing pig - of course :o)

It looks great Alicia. "
