Illustrators I Love: Ana Juan

from The Pet Shop Revolution by Ana Juan (Arthur Levine Books, 2011) text by Monique De Varennes, illustrated Ana JuanSchwartz and Wade, 2007 I couldn't resist sharing Ana Juan's work. She has several very successful works all over the globe, but in case you don't know this wonderful Spanish illustrator, here's the link to her site. Also, I wanted to mention that this spring, Cristina Dominguez Ramirez of the Richmond Public Libraries and I will be collaborating to bring a children's book illustration exhibit to Richmond in celebration of El Dia De Los Libros (the Day of Books)/ El Dia de los Niños in late April. Stay tuned for details of some of the incredible artists and activities we're cooking up for you -- and for how you can help.
