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.
偶然知道學樂繪本,本本經典,值得入手
評分非常好,在京東買瞭超多好書,活動力度非常大,物美價廉,繼續支持京東
評分萌萌噠書,感覺很適閤小朋友,貴瞭點,感覺用處也不是很大,但是可以讓孩子啓濛吧,慢慢地讀給他聽
評分寶寶挺喜歡~
評分這批的書今天到瞭,感覺還不錯,在京東買瞭很多書瞭,搞活動很劃算,不過外文原版書一直比較貴,這麼幾本小的書就一百多瞭
評分當你打開《浩瀚的宇宙》這本大書時,你會發現,博大精深的天文知識通過作者深入淺齣的解釋和插畫傢真實有趣的描繪與設計,變得直觀、淺顯而有趣:浩瀚星空裏的星座、遨遊太空的航天員如何“煉成”、各種各樣的火箭和曾經的趣聞軼事、火箭的基本結構與發射過程、忙忙碌碌的國際空間站、地球在太空中的美麗容顔、我們的太陽係大傢庭、人類登月史詩級畫麵的重現、跳齣太陽係俯瞰神秘的銀河係……也許,其中許多知識都是點到為止,或略微專業,但是,宇宙何嘗不是充滿令人類上下求索不息的奧秘呢?請相信,培育孩子的求知興趣將遠比生硬的知識灌輸更為重要。更帶勁兒的是,分布全書的各個活動部件吸引著孩子用小手去掀開、拉動、鏇轉和發現一個又一個的宇宙奧秘,尤其是呼之欲齣的火箭模型和躍然紙上的地球模型,將帶給孩子@的驚喜。讓孩子在玩中學,有什麼比這更讓傢長踏實和欣喜的呢?
評分搞活動湊單買的,不是很值。倒是自己想買的書便宜瞭好多。還算是好評吧。物流還是很快的。
評分小朋友喜歡,質量不錯,最贊京東物流的速度,頂!
評分非常好的書,京東活動價格便宜,孩子也很喜歡看,傢裏囤書都是上京東!品質有保障!希望一直有好的活動!
