Popping Out!
Today, I watch the snow fall outside my window, and think of my 21 year old daughter enjoying Spring Break on a yacht in the Keys. Who needs Florida sunshine? I received my Ocean pop-up book in the mail!
Currently being sold in Europe in both Italian and Spanish, here's a peek inside; care to dive in with me?
This is amazing. Well done, and congratulations.
I can tell that so much hard work went into illustrating this book.
I think it will be very attractive to children and they will want to look at it 'every which way' they can.
I will keep an eye out for it in the shops Shennen.
Is it going to Bologna to generate foreign rights?

Thanks June!
This book was a lot of fun to work on! As of now it is being sold by a Spanish publisher in Madrid and an Italian publisher in Milano. It should be at Bologna - it is still being shopped around for more languages!
All very exciting.

Wow! That's one gorgeous looking pop-up book!
Imagine having a great book like that... it's like going scuba diving without getting in the water.
I hope it gets you LOTS of attention.... and I hope some publisher asks to publish one of your own books.
Very exciting!

WOW Shennen, I can't imagine it not getting snatched up and distributed world wide!!! What an amazing book! I can see that every teacher/librarian would want at least two, one on the shelf for reading but one just to hang, open, on the wall! It would be wonderful for a kids wall at home too.
Great work!

Thanks Chris!
I have one displayed in my studio, it's fun to look at all the nooks and crannies.
Funny how you remember things associated with the production of each book - I was sad - I was in Toronto and I had just missed my connector to Vancouver when I checked my emails from my phone, and there was the message telling me I was hired for the book! You are in Canada so I thought of that.
Snowing again in Boston today Chris, lets think tropical ocean weather!

Hi Sharon!
Thanks, I really like this book, I'm glad you do too! The book is currently available in Europe (come on Bologna, let's get US sales!) but here is one of the publisher's links, this one is in Italy, a friend has already ordered some from this site:
