Good afternoon.

I hope this finds you well. Since you blog, I thought you might like to know that Dani Jones, the illustrator of my picture book The Best Mariachi in the World/El Mejor Mariachi del Mundo has recently launched her own blog on both the book and her process in developing the illustrations. It can be found at: addition, illustrator Dani Jones has recently started a blog that showcases her work and provides insight into her artistic process at http://mariachibook.blogspot.com.

I hope this finds you well and enjoying the summer.

Best,

J.D. Smith

I did NOT write those books! There is an Alison Morris writing children's books (out of the U. K., I think) who spells her name exactly as I do, and JacketFlap's system doesn't have any flag to tell it that we're not one and the same. I have removed the titles that were mistakenly attributed to me but thought I should just clear up any confusion now by stating that NO, I do not yet have any books in print. (But yes, that'll change when I FINALLY finish the book I'm currently writing for Candlewick Press!)

Thanks,
