My AFRICAN BEDTIME RHYMES
Words by Brettell Hone ~ Pictures by Ginger Nielson
The book I illustrated for SHAMWARI PUBLISHING in South Africa is finally here. The inventive rhymes of Brettell Hone have created a newer view of some African animals that might otherwise be overlooked. A pair of trout, an African fly and a Wood Owl are just some of the characters for whom Brettell has created a story in rhyme. And to add to all that, this is a book that BOYS will enjoy very much. There is a bit of action, some surprise, some danger and lots of fun!
The books are available now at Amazon.com and you can take a sneak peek as some of the story here. Books are also available from Atlas Books.
I really enjoyed working with the author on this project. His lifelong association with these animals and his idyllic location in the Limpopo provence of South Africa have given him a unique perspective on the lives of these animals. The books were printed by IMAGO printing and I have to admit that although there were some ups and downs with the process the finished product is gorgeous. The colors are true and vivid and I am totally pleased with the outcome.
If you want the book directly from your bookstore, just ask for it and include the ISBN number which is:978-0-620-40992-6.
