I wanted to say thank you to illustrator John Manders.
He gave my daughter, Allison, one of his books and signed it for her.
SHE LOVES IT!
I think his work is amazing! Ally has read this story to me a dozen times already.
Here’s what I learned about him from his website (www.johnmanders.com) : John Manders lives in Pittsburgh and studied at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh and later at the Visual Arts and the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York.
His other books look fantastic and we’re going to order some of them… including his most recent: The Perfect Nest.
You can find John’s work in more than 30 children’s books and many children’s magazines.
In May, 2006 he was named Outstanding Illustrator/Author by the Pennsylvania School Librarian’s Association.
And now, John was also voted best illustrator in our house!
