Close to my heart…
Posted on | February 22, 2012 | 12 Comments
I’m happy to finally be sharing with you something that has been so close to my heart for this past year. It’s called “Noisy Poems for a Busy Day”, it’s a collection of fun children’s poems… and I illustrated it!!!
It is going to be published by Kids Can Press and is due to be on shelves by this coming December. It was written by Robert Heidbreder. He’s a retired school teacher living in Vancouver, who now works as a children’s book author.
Every part of this project has been a dream come true for me. I’m still pinching myself to believe it’s all real. Robert’s poems were a complete joy to illustrate, he was so supportive of my work .
I feel thankful that my art director Yvette saw the potential in me for this book. It was a crazy amount of work, but I feel like the luckiest person in the world that I got to do it.
I hope once it’s out there in the world it will bring as much happiness to others as it has brought to me!

Way to go, it’s so beautiful! I recognize the burping girl from your handy table rules printout. It hangs above my kitchen table and keeps my son’s bum in his chair. Thanks for that by the way!
