Life is very curious, from the first time I saw this book it attracted my attention, mainly because of the cover, the color combination and the illustration on it were really special. Unfortunately I didn´t have a camera on me that day so I couldn´t take any photos of it. Last time I went to the book store I found it again and this time I did have a camera!!! This book is a compilation of 30 poems written by Gilles Tibo, a greatly renowned children´s author. The illustrations are from five different illustrators from Quebec (the Canadian region I live now)... so, the illustrations I liked the best from all of them were from the Canadian Illustrator Janice Nadeau, who lives in Montreal (as I do!). Her illustrations from this book are the following 3 that I´m sharing. I find her work so beautiful! Her watercolor use is so full of movement and simplicity, I love it!
The curious part of this story is that when I begin to do my research about the illustrator, I found that she illustrated this other book I bought in México a couple of years ago titled “Where in the world”, I bought this book because its illustration seemed to me so amazing, I don´t remember if I bought it in its French version or its Spanish version but I guess I should have bought the French one because I don´t remember to have read it ... So since I bought it, for some reason this book has had a special place in my collection of children books and is still one of my favorite ones.
Such a nice thing to know that this very special book, is from an illustrator that lives in the same very city where my destiny is.
