I'm pleased to share the first children's book I got to illustrate. The art making was really a blast mainly because of the freedom I had to design and interpret every single page according to the written script. Lectura Books publishes bilingual books in English and Spanish targeting the Latino population throughout the U.S. Here's a small snippet of what they share in their mission statement: "Part of that phenomenal growth is that parents often speak in one language- Spanish-while their children learn in another, English. Bilingual books make it possible for parents and children to learn together."
It's been so fascinating seeing a book come together. Watching the process made me wonder what I would've done if I were given the opportunity to pull the book together with my illustrations. This calls for another blog entry. Ambitiously, but honestly speaking, I'd love to create a children's book from the very beginning-- from the story to designing the whole book. Even the idea of it makes me happy. That aside, I truly hope this book brings smiles and wonders to every reader.
I See the World / Yo Veo el Mundo, along with many other, are for sale here.
