Finally! I have been wanting to show you the cover of the latest book I am illustrating for Sylvan Dell, titled "Prairie Storms". Here it is! Ta-daaaaa! It is due to be released in summer of 2011. I am currently illustrating the inside spreads. I wish I could show them to you, but I have not even shown the publisher yet! It has been such an interesting project to research. This past weekend I went on a photo excursion at the Spring Valley Nature Sanctuary near my home to photograph prairie plants, trees, the sky, etc. Each of the 12 spreads inside "Prairie Storms" will feature a different month, different animal, and different storm. I just illustrated a pair of owls flying over a farm with a cloudburst and rainbow forming in the sky, and today I am painting a lizard scurrying from a flash of lightning.

Kate, this looks wonderful. I know how much research goes into a book like this. The interesting part is that you will get to illustrate such a diverse set of images.
I am praying for you as you work. This will be a magnificent book!
Thank you, Ginger! :)
Congrats on the book, Kate! And it's written by Darcy Pattison, speaker and author extraordinaire, how cool is that?
Kate! Congratulations! It is so beautiful! What a huge accomplishment!!
Beautiful, Congrats
Your work is so lovely Kate! I look forward to seeing the completed book and all of the different animals!
