Proud to be asked by Sleeping Bear Press to illustrate Little Dandelion Seeds the World, by Julia Richardson. The book was an absolute joy to work on with a lot of creative freedom from Felicia Macheske, our art director. She gave us a lot of opportunity to have fun with textures and rich colors. Thanks Julia! Below is a little synopsis and a couple of reviews. The book is available now!
Did you know dandelions thrive on all seven continents? The cheery blooms are among the most resilient and adaptable in the world. In this lyrical book, learn how the crafty plant travels on the wind and hitches rides in all manner of ways in order to spread far and wide. Includes a map and backmatter on dandelions.
Vivid, screenprint-esque digital illustrations by the Howdeshells trace the seeds’ paths, showcasing animals from each continent amid landscapes enlivened by terrain-distinct color palettes. Younger readers will enjoy this informative read, which shows how nature unites the globe. --Publisher's Weekly
