Spring Book Hatching Announcement

Spring Book Hatching 2008

So, I’m really behind in my blogging. It’s been a crazy busy spring. When I haven’t been working (or trying to get the garden planted before it’s too late) I’ve been designing all the advertising pieces for CWILL BC’s upcoming Spring Book Hatching. The first one last year was such a success that CWILL BC is making this an annual event.

There’s a press release over on the CWILL BC blog that you can check out to learn all the details.

I’ll be at the SBH with my most recently illustrated book Looking for Loons. Drop by and say hello!

Loads of Launched Loons (and Mice)

I met author Jennifer Lloyd at the launch for our book Looking for Loons this afternoon. She also launched her previously published book One Winter’s Night with illustrator Lynn Ray. She read both books to a full house and an audience of attentive children.

This is One Winter Night illustrator Lynn Ray, compositionally left-of-center (I hope she doesn’t mind.)

As well as ten scarf-wearing mouse toys and a prop loon, there were loon cookies…

and mouse cookies…

A big thank you to Christianne for the fantastic venue and organising and to Dimiter for the launch.
