I finally got my complimentary copies of Picturebook '07, and look who's on the inside cover! SWEEEETTTT.....
But, just FYI---if you want to see my actual page in the book, and look me up in their index, I am NOT on page 138 like it says....I'm on page 183. so much for all that free publicity.......

FUN SURPRISE!
I just recieved a copy of Rising Moon's spring catalog and there, on the cover, was one of my illustrations----pulled right from the pages of Hey Diddle Diddle! To see more about Hey Diddle Diddle, as well as the other fine books published by Rising Moon, go to www.risingmoonbooks.com.
