She was a recipient of the 2010 Sendak Fellowship. Antoinette graduated from the UCLA School of Fine Arts and then spent years in the world of design and advertising, working at Disney before taking a flying leap to pursue her sixth-grade dream of writing and illustrating picture books. Review This is a superb example of an information text, ostensibly for younger children, but with multi-age and multi-curriculum uses. It is also a thing of beauty, printed on high quality paper doing full justice to the stunning illustrations, with the authors expressive brush work, clever layout and a palette filled with watery blues and greens and the white and grey of rain, fog and snow. LOVE READING 4 SCHOOLS;A non-fiction picture book a few years ago may have seemed impossible, it isnt, this book shows us both how and why … Read and learn, learn and read. A book that will spark conversations, can be read as a story of an information title and is sneakily packed full of science too. Ideal for younger readers, bold artwork and a strong design. Lets hope this boundary-crossing book is the start of more to come.
