WILD READING EXHIBITION

Picture books + Natural History Museum? 

That sounds like the perfect combination.

And I could’t be more excited to participate in the exhibition "Wild Reading: Animals in Children's book art"  at Bruce Museum. An original art of Brownie Groundhog and the February Fox, along with the book, were in it! 

This is an Art and Natural History museum in Greenwich (Connecticut-US) and the exhibition explored the depiction of animal life in children books. They featured over 30 illustrators works (such as Quentin Blake or Eric Carle !) next to taxidermy specimens from their collection. 

Unfortunately I wasn’t able to go to Connecticut for the exhibition, but Mia Laufer from Bruce M. gently sent me these pictures. Thanks!

NO SHADOW, SO... EARLY SPRING! HAPPY GROUNDHOG DAY

On this February 2nd, Brownie Groundhog and February Fox 

wishes you all a happy groundhog day!

And good news, Punxsutawney Phil, most popular Brownie's cousin, 

didn't see any shadow this morning, so he predicted an early spring!

Brownie is character I created some time ago that became the main character of a picture book: "Brownie Groundhog and the February Fox". This book was the result of a beautiful team work, a story written by Susan Blackaby and published by Sterling Publishing.  You can read more about it here. 

This year we've been working in the new adventures of Brownie and Fox, along with a new pal. So more news coming soon!
