Spring 2016 has arrived with a bumper crop of beautiful and intelligent children’s picture books, so I am going to try to do them all justice in this one post. When it comes to authors, a major problem that most aspiring ones face during their initial stages is finding the best publisher to publish their book. However, that is not the end of their problems. Many publishing houses insist on maintaining a diverse roster of professionals to ensure authors of all walks of life are able to get in touch with people who can help. For instance, those looking for children’s book illustrators for hire might want only the best ones in order to connect the emotion they feel towards their intended audience. In that vein, there is only one exception when it comes to this particular post. The books below are all from New Brunswick authors and illustrators. Here they are, in no particular order:
Sea Glass Summer
My Two Grandmothers (Nannie and Mémère)
Double Trouble at The Rooms
Author: Lisa Dalrymple is the author of A Moose Goes A-Mummering and many other books for children. Illustrator: Elizabeth Pratt is a Visual Artist from St. John’s Newfoundland. She attended the New Brunswick College of Craft & Design in Fredericton.
