Hello everyone,
I'm very busy with my new book but I took a moment to post this announcement.
Andrea and Mark found me trough this blog and asked me to describe one of my favorite children's books. This is how I have discovered their lovely and interesting website.
Now they are celebrating and are making a call to all interested artists. I would love to participate and perhaps you're interested too.
Celebrate two years and 400 episodes of promoting children's books
Thursday, May 15, 2008.
This July, the Just One More Book!! children's book podcast will celebrate its second anniversary and 400th episode of promoting children's books and literacy. As part of our celebration, we are redesigning our website and would like the new look to include artwork that promotes a love of reading.
Illustrators of all backgrounds are invited to submit a logo-like illustration that can be resized nicely and featured on our website for everyone to enjoy. Illustrators submitting artwork will be invited to be guests of Just One More Book!! to talk about their design, the creative process and how their submission helps to promote a love of reading.
We ask that all submissions be emailed to [email protected] in JPG, PNG or GIF format, 500×500 pixels on or before June 15, 2008. Let us know if you have any questions.
Thanks and Happy Reading!
Andrea & Mark

By Anatoly Liberman
A correspondent found the sentence (I am quoting only part of it) …stole a march on the old folks and made a flying trip to the home of… in a newspaper published in north Texas in 1913 and wonders what the phrase given above in boldface means. She notes that it occurs with some regularity in the clippings at her disposal. This idiom is well-known, and I have more than once seen it in older British and American books, so I was not surprised to find it in the Oxford English Dictionary (OED). To steal (gain, get) a march on means “get ahead of to the extent of a march; gain a march by stealth,” hence figuratively “outsmart, outwit, bypass; avoid.” The earliest citation in the OED is dated to 1707. As far as I can judge, only the variant with steal has continued into the present, mainly or even only in its figurative meaning. (more…)

Very cute characters. Best wishes
These look great Livia! you've captured some nice expressions. Look forward to seeing the book!
Sorry guys, summer has been crazy here. New studio space is being built and I have an injured partner to nurse. Did finish off my kids book on "Freddy's Day at the Races" and it is off to press, now moving into the next one, stumbling as usual. Totally different atmosphere and a lot of historical material required for reference.
Daaa,...Livia these look great, like the characters. What kind of book is it, alphabet?
Great job Livia! These look wonderful. I love the characters and colors.
This will be a fabulous book!
Nice soft colors you are using to paint with.
If you wanted to add anything you could add a touch more of shading under the cat.
All the characters have personality. Nice work.
Thank you guys! It's a book with poems.
Yes Chris, you're right about the shading, I will add it.
I didn't gave it much thought before because representing the cat with that kind of hat was a bad idea and we decided to drop that pose from the book anyway.
