Happy Mothers Day!

Some THE QUIET BOOK news:

-It is No.2 this week on the New York Times Bestseller List!

-Here is a link to an interesting interview, it gives a peak into how the book was made from the writer and the editor's point of view.

A really wonderful part of The Quiet Book is that it gives the reader the opportunity to think up their own quiet moments. Which is also what made it such a great book to illustrate.

Issac, Grace, and Lily went further and drew some quiet moments. These drawings are from the review of The Quiet Book on their lovely blog Bookie Woogie! They got me thinking that I will have to try to put the porcupine a bit more in the next book.

They reviewed Little Panda previously as well:

Thanks to Issac, Grace, Lilly, and their Dad!

Today's Parent (Canada)

I have some illustrations in the May issue of Today's Parent on news stands now - fun job, good people to work with. I wish I had a helmet like this!

I can't keep quiet about this!

Number 5 on The New York Times bestseller list!

It's unbelievable, something that happens to other artists.

You would think that illustrating a book is a solitary pursuit, but it's thanks to a whole lot of people.

Thanks to Deborah for words full of imagination.
Thanks to everybody at Houghton Mifflin Harcourt who made it possible.
Thanks to the booksellers for supporting it.
Thanks to all the bloggers and such who have posted about it.
And a super big thanks to all the readers who made it a NY Times Bestseller!

Oh, and I can't forget my family and friends, Thanks to you most of all!
