The book launch for Mother Earth's Lullaby, A Song for Endangered Species at Mrs. Figs' Bookworm was amazing. Terry Pierce the author and I signed a lot of copies! Connie read Mother Earth's Lullaby and she was wonderful. She really has a knack and knows how to keep the audience's attention. It was a lot of fun with so many friends and customers turning out! Below is a slideshow of some of the highlights! An amazing day!!!

Well, the 33rd SCBWI Writer's Day was wonderful. Everyone had a great time and we all learned a lot from editors, Sarah Jane Abbott, and Allison Moor, also agents Hannah Mann and Lorin Oberweger. The other spotlight speakers were Andrea Loney, Happy Lashelle and Terry Pierce. Below is a slideshow with a few photos from the event! All photos taken by Joan B. Graham www.joangraham.com  I'll be making a Ten Minute Spotlight Presentation at the 33rd Annual SCBWI Writters' Day on Saturday, October 13, 2018! The event will be held at California Lutheran University my alma mater. I'll be talking about never giving up. My talk is titled, Carol "Persistence" Heyer. I'll also be showcasing the release of my latest picture book, MOTHER EARTH'S LULLABY written by the wonderful Terry Pierce. It's a lovely, quiet nighty night book focusing on endangered species.  I'll also be talking about my HUMPHREY'S FIRST CHRISTMAS picture book also being released this October.  HUMPHREY'S FIRST CHRISTMAS was just released, October 2, 2018 as a board book! I'm so excited to see Humphrey moving on in this new format. Since its original release, Humphrey has sold over 100,000 copies. Now as a board book, I'm hoping that Humphrey continues to touch people's hearts!  I'm thrilled with this new Humphrey! Ideals did a gorgeous job on this oversized board book. The color, editing et al is just perfect! Some fun news that I just learned, among other places, look for Humphrey's First Christmas in Walmart this holiday season!!! Here is a copy of the bookmark I had made to celebrate the upcoming release of MOTHER EARTH'S LULLABY: A Song for Endangered Animals. I'll be handing them out at the book launch at Mrs. Figs' Bookworm in Camarillo from 3pm to 5 pm Sunday October 14th. The Author Terry Pierce and I will be there to sign copies of our book. I love animals and had so much fun doing the illustrations! Hope to see you there!  HUMPHREY'S FIRST CHRISTMAS will be released in board book form this fall by Worthy Kids/Ideals on October 2, 2018! I'm thrilled with the advance copy I just received. It's 26 pages, and 6.5 x 6.5 inches.   I'll be signing books at Mrs. Figs' Bookworm in Camarillo on October 14, 2018! Mark your calendar and stop by the greatest independent bookstore! I'd love to see you!  The above illustration of a mother polar bear and her cubs is from my next picture book titled, MOTHER EARTH'S LULLABY: A Song for Endangered Animals. It is a beautiful poem written by Terry Pierce and illustrated by me. It will be released this fall by Tilbury House (October 16, 2018). It's a nighty night book of endangered species. I had an amazing time working on this project. One of my favorite things to paint are animals!  This illustration of the yellow-footed wallaby is also from the book. The art is painted in acrylic on portrait canvas. The book can be pre-ordered on Amazon, just click on the art below.  I recently did a post with a slideshow of all the wonderful photos from the Humphrey's First Christmas extravaganza at the Ladies Christmas Tea. Here is something fun that I just received, a short video clip of part of the Humphrey reading/play. A very cute performance by "Humphrey". I absolutely LOVE it! I hope you do too!  Humphrey's First Christmas was honored at the Ladies' Christmas tea in Forest Lake MN. While Humphrey was being read, a group of actors performed the story in costume. You can see "Humphrey" talking with the camel master and climbing into his tent! I absolutely love it all. There were over 500 people in attendance! A beautiful Mug was also designed and appears on all of the tables! Thanks to everyone for selecting Humphrey's First Christmas to showcase at the Ladies' Christmas Tea!
Linda Haed Hodge has just posted a new chart with one of my angel illustrations. This angel is titled "You Are Special" and is from a card assignment I did for Doreen Virtue. It's one of my favorite images. This chart contains ninety colors of floss. Amazing!  If you click on the angel image above it will take you to a page with more information.  If you click on the Pegasus, it will take you to my Home Page at HAED, Heaven and Earth Designs and you can see other images of my art available now. More are to be released in the future! |
