16 year old Children’s Book Illustrator

Felt Woman book one is at the printers !

Eventhough it didn’t make it for Christmas the important thing is that small quiet steps still get there and Christmas happens every year so you never really miss it, just catch it next time round!

 

It’s an exciting time. The illustrations for my book ‘Felt Woman’ are finished!

I have been working with a very talanted 16 year old, Shannah Usher, who was born with a sketch pad in her hand i’m sure! It is a inspiration to watch her creativity and her energy as she whisks up the most gentle, georgous drawings that are heart warming and in my case, heart mending.

This is the the first book this  talented young Artist has published her work in. Before everyone else snatches her up I want her to be the illustrator for the Felt Woman series and then there are all my other books!

She tells me her goal is to use the earnings from book illustration to help pay for her Veterinary Science Degree. YOU GO GIRL !

Enquiries  regarding  Shannah and bookings for her work  can be made through the contact/ comment section of this site. 

By the way Shannah is a horse crazy girl. She has a cremello Kiamanawa Pony. Her room is like a horse collectors dream! I know she is writing a fabulous chapter book of her own, guess what it’s about !

Winter seems the perfect time for sitting by the fire and letting the word drama begin! I have a series of five little books that I started last winter,

it is my goal to complete the process this winter and have the books ready for Christmas 09.

The story is about a felt woman that loves to collect firewood. Her world is soft, safe and warm. I think the stories are perfect for creating a quiet, gentle time just before bed.

I have sourced a sustainable forest paper grown right here in New Zealand. It feels good to have a book that is great to hold as well as to read!Most of all I love it when my kids read the books. It’s a great feeling to share that time together and really cute when you have made the book at home. Everyone has a great story to tell, what’s yours?
