It's almost here!  The book I finished illustrating around this time last year is releasing almost exactly a year later, Jan 4th 2011!!

Published by Simon & Schuster, Aladdin imprint, I can't speak highly enough of the great experience I had working with them.  

Fairly Fairy Tales was written by the amazing Esmé Raji Codell.  Esmé is a best selling author (and super sweet!).  

"Best-selling author Esme Raji Codell takes readers through a very different verison of some beloved fairy-tales in Fairly Fairy Tales."

It was Esmé who without knowing me recommended me to illustrate her book, and I find that pretty special (that my style was what the author had in mind for the vision of her book!).  I'm glad that the folks at Aladdin agreed!   

Here's the back cover:

I couldn't be more excited about this book.  I really pushed myself on the illustrations and I really love the concept of the book.  I'll have more to share soon, but in the meantime You can PRE-ORDER HERE.
