I really love books about seasons. I never get tired of way the world changes and repeats. I wonder why book illustrators aren’t given the same respect as painters and sculptors. Illustrations have been a much bigger part of my life and have given me so much more lasting happiness than fine art.
It really was so silly to teach us that illustration isn’t art! The definition of art is one of the most boring topics on earth! If you like it and you know it clap your hands!

And that’s why picture books are sooooo fabulous!! I love this picture — all the joyful smiles. More naked babies. Are naked babies some kind of rule for New Year celebrating?
Whoo-hooo! Let’s hear it for illustrators!! Happy New Year, Elephant. Thank you for stopping by. Congratulations on your One Year. Hope Santa brought you more books to share…or perhaps you’ve got a big birthday coming up? One book for each candle…
