My sketches were all approved!! Off to paintings!! So excited about this job. It's a book titled The Hungry Dragon, part of a reading program for Heinemann, a subdivision of Houghton-Mifflin Harcourt, due to hit the school systems in 2017!

I was happy today to find this review linked to the Barnes and Nobles site.
Children's Literature
You can't help but tap your feet as you read this book. The words make a beat throughout the book and by the time you reach the end you just want to dance. Marita's dad and his salsa band are performing in the park tonight and as she and her mom make their way through the town friends follow along. Reminiscent of a Gloria Estefan song you can feel the rhythm as you read along. Though fun and upbeat it's hardly the story to read when you want to calm the little ones for bed at night. But if you are in the mood for an upbeat fun time that requires no thought whatsoever, this is the book. The illustrations are as lively as the rhythm that urges you to move and the Spanish is so well woven into the story that bilingual readers don't even notice the shift from one language to the other.

Just finished this portrait for a private client.....I had a lot of fun with the bubbles! Place your portrait orders in now to get them for the holidays! Also I had my first book signing this weekend which turned out very well. Many people showed up and it turned out to be an amazing day. I'll be posting some pictures up soon.
