Just received some brand new shiny copies of a book
I contributed to and worked on last year
365 Animal stories and Rhymes published by Parragon.

It's a very cute, sturdy and super thick book with a squishy padded cover, love those.
It's filled with tons of animal stories, one for each day of the year.
It was a labor of love between me and a group of talented artists.
I illustrated over 60 stories.
Inside among many wonderful things you'll find..

© copyright Alicia Padrón 2011Having so many stories to illustrate, 365 in fact, this was a very big project that was broken down between me and several artists.

Last year I had fun working on another title, this beautiful and very thick animal book published by Parragon.
The book features many animal stories and rhymes, in fact 365 to be exact. It's filled with tons of cute art too. This book was a little different from what I've done in the past. It was a collaboration between me and several artists. Such a big book with so many stories and illustrations required a lot of work. It was fun working on so many short stories I have to say. A break from my usual work.
The cover was illustrated by another artist, isn't it adorable? I wish I knew the name though so I could credit him or her. I will add it to this post as soon as I know it.
If you'd like to get a copy here is a link to Amazon UK. I believe other Amazon sites have it as well as other bookstores.
I'll be posting a little peek at some my art from the book soon! :o)

This looks like such a fun little book! I love the sweet illustrations! So many children will enjoy reading or having this read to them.
Thanks so much Sarah! It's always exciting when a book arrives. Never gets old! :o)
Thank you Fay! That is the biggest reward.. Picturing kids being read these stories at night and their little eyes fixed on the illustrations. :o)
Cómo te felicito, Ali!
Me alegra tanto que tus ilustraciones, tan hermosas puedan lucirse en un libro así! son pura ternura y se ve impecable la edición!
Yo también me imagino el gozo de muchos chiquilines con una belleza así ante sus hojos :)

Aww thanks Tracy!! It was a lot of work to be honest. But it was a nice change to work on individual stories and have that many range of animals to illustrate. I enjoyed it. Thank you! :o)

I'm sooo sorry. I mistakenly hit delete instead of publish on my email alert of your comment. I was using my iphone and my huge finger hit the wrong thing..
This is a new feature for me, I had to do it because of the amount of annoying comments lately is getting out of hand. People trying to sell things etc.
Anyway I wanted to let you know I did see it. I can copy it from my email box but I can't publish it. Here it is and thank you so much! hugs:
"No book should be without a disco dancing pig - of course :o)
