Melissa Sweet Talks about being chosen by the New York Time's as having one of the best illustrated books of 2008
0 Comments »
This is Melissa's second book nominated for the New York Times Best Illustrated Book of the Year award. When I asked her if it ever gets old she says"Not Hardly!"
We love Melissa...unequivocally...she is the very nicest person
you'd ever want to meet and despite her many years in publishing and all her awards is infinitely patient with the children who come to see her and never, ever talks down to them. You can fairly see them blossom before your eyes as she listens intently to their questions, and does her best to answer.
And if all that wasn't enough, she's incredibly talented, producing some of the most beautiful art work you'll ever see.
Here we see her illustrate the everyday things of
William Carlos Williams life, report cards, lists, birds he saw and wrote about, all of which is very appropriate for the man whose real job was being a doctor and who wrote his poetry about the "pictures in his mind"
