Cover: The Garden of Abdul Gasazi

Insert: The Garden of Abdul Gasazi
by Chris Van Allsburg
Just read this book to my girls and love-love-LOVED the illustrations. So detailed and crisp...looks like pencil, so it's all black and white. A very talented artist, indeed. I've not read anything else by
Chris Van Allsburg, although most are familiar with or have at least heard of his Caldecott winners,
Jumanji and
The Polar Express.
This story,
The Garden of Abdul Gasazi, is good but what really held my interest were his spectacular illustrations. Chris Van Allsburg won a Caldecott Honor for this book.

What Is Green?
by Kate Endle
I took my friend to Cafe Flora in Madison Park last Friday and loved the artwork that was on exhibit. I wrote down the illustrators website so I could see more and discovered that she is a children's book author and illustrator. I have read these two books and find her illustrative style very refreshing.
I have a soft spot for collage and I love her use of Japanese styled paper. She keeps things simple so that her shapes and patterns are the focus. Beautiful work! I'm inspired.
If you'd like to check out more of Kate Endle's work she has a
website and a shop at
Etsy.
Whenever I come across 3D artists that remind me of our very own Creative Cupper, Suzanne Del Rizzo, I feel compelled to share. I just checked out Busy Little Mouse by Eugenie Fernandes, a sweet little read teaching youngsters the sounds of animals. The story isn't particularly memborable but the illustrator, Kim Fernandes, is. Very sophisticated use of polymer clay...great textures and colors.
Suzanne, are you familiar with her? If not, she's worth checking out :)

Hi everyone. I wanted to share my latest discovery, an illustrator that recently won SCBWI's Golden Kite Award. Her name is Salley Mavor and her medium is sculpting with textiles and found objects. Her art is spectacular!
From a distance, I thought her artwork was clay sculpting, which made me think of our own member's work, Suzanne Del Rizzo.
Pocket Full of Posies
by Salley Mavor
She has a long list of published books, her latest being
Pocket Full of Posies. I've not read it or any of her works, but her illustrations are amazing and inspiring.
The Circus Ship
By Chris Van Dusen
I was at Half Price Books the other day and saw
Chris Van Dusen's book on the shelf. I'd read it before from the library, and wanted it for my home collection. The story is inspired by an actual event and written in verse.
I read it again last night to my kids, and took particular notice of the wonderful perspective driven illustrations. I've been working very hard at figuring out top-down perspective with the added flavor of foreshortening. Not so easy! I really admire and appreciate Van Dusen's work.
Not only is the story awesome and the illustrations inspiring, but through out the story it's fun to find the animals. He's good at hiding them within his pages.
Perspective!

Illustrator and Author, Alison JayI wanted to share another name with you, a name of one of my favorite childrens book illustrators. Her name is
Alison Jay. She has many books under her belt, such as:
Welcome to the Zoo
If Kisses Were Colors
Picture This...
ABC Alphabet
123: A Child's First Counting Book
and many others!
She is the master of hidden images and hidden story threads throughout her pages. Her style is unique and consistent...and beautiful.
If you haven't read one of her books then I highly recommend you do! I've read the ones listed above, and each one has surprises worth finding. Enjoy!
Very nice work. I like the colors too.
