Here’s an image from a new picture ‘The Halloween Forest’, which will be released later this year by Holiday House in the US. It’s a rollicking seasonal book in rhyme with the reader as the central character on a spooky trick-or-treat journey into a dark forest. Loads of fun to work on.

I was commissioned to do a website badge for participants in the the Perfect Picture Book Fridays blog group. Perfect Picture Books Fridays is the creation of author Susanna Leonard Hill. The participants review favorite picture books following required criteria. The titles are categorized on the site, making it easy for parents, educators and librarians to view and choose.
