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.

评分当你打开《浩瀚的宇宙》这本大书时,你会发现,博大精深的天文知识通过作者深入浅出的解释和插画家真实有趣的描绘与设计,变得直观、浅显而有趣:浩瀚星空里的星座、遨游太空的航天员如何“炼成”、各种各样的火箭和曾经的趣闻轶事、火箭的基本结构与发射过程、忙忙碌碌的国际空间站、地球在太空中的美丽容颜、我们的太阳系大家庭、人类登月史诗级画面的重现、跳出太阳系俯瞰神秘的银河系……也许,其中许多知识都是点到为止,或略微专业,但是,宇宙何尝不是充满令人类上下求索不息的奥秘呢?请相信,培育孩子的求知兴趣将远比生硬的知识灌输更为重要。更带劲儿的是,分布全书的各个活动部件吸引着孩子用小手去掀开、拉动、旋转和发现一个又一个的宇宙奥秘,尤其是呼之欲出的火箭模型和跃然纸上的地球模型,将带给孩子@的惊喜。让孩子在玩中学,有什么比这更让家长踏实和欣喜的呢?
