My book has arrived!
Published in: Children's Books
After months of hard work, I finally got my hands on the new book I illustrated! I was sooooo excited when I first opened the package. There were five shiny copies waiting to be cracked open. Isaac tried to help me but I quickly removed the package from his tiny hands in order to save those delicate paper pages (only board books for this kid right now!). I am so pleased with the quality of the book and the overall design. I sent off the illustrations to the art director without really knowing how they were planning on designing the interior. What a beautiful result!
For those of you who don’t know, the book I recently illustrated is God’s Promises for Girls by Jack Countryman and Amy Parker. It’s a wonderful and encouraging book for little girls that offers practical support and Bible verses to help them through their daily lives. You can now purchase this book in the US but I think Canada has to wait until the end of the month.
SO very happy right now! :)
