Hawksbill Turtle - Preliminary art for Coral Reefs
I am currently hard at work on my next book, scheduled for publication in the Spring of 2011. The new book will take the reader on a journey through a coral reef, and (surprise) its working title is Coral Reefs. It has been one of the most exciting projects I have ever worked on. This year, I learned to scuba dive, traveled to Belize, and have learned more about coral reefs than I had ever imagined possible.
As I travel to schools and meet readers of Redwoods, the most common questions that I get are about how I make my books. So in the coming weeks, I plan to chronicle the development of Coral Reefs. I can’t promise to write every day, but I hope to be able to give my fans a good description of my book making process. Stay tuned for posts about: researching a place, writing and revising, making a book dummy, painting a picture and much more!
