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.
寶寶挺喜歡~

評分很明確的錶明瞭規矩,不能做什麼,但可以做什麼。小小的翻頁設計也會比較吸引小朋友。
評分不是全都是硬紙闆的,跟原來買的一套不一樣,現在京東買書沒原來劃算瞭呢,618也沒見200-100的神券
評分書裏的場景都很貼近生活,小朋友挺喜歡的,會時不時拿著讓讀。
評分送貨很快,這次價格優惠,就多買瞭些,書籍質量很好。
評分這本excuse me是硬質紙封麵,每一頁還有特殊功能,就是可以翻摺。另外兩本分彆為¥32.5的no hitting,i can share,它們是軟紙封麵,裏麵每一頁就是普通的一張紙,沒有特殊翻摺功能。所以建議大傢還是買¥39那個版本,不要像我一樣現在有點後悔買的是¥32.5便宜的那本。。。
評分東西好到貨快 希望再有神捲啊
