Everyone is continuously commenting on the illustrations and how wonderful they are. It's the first thing they comment on. And, they seem to especially love the cover as well.

I have yet to hear one bad response to the illustrations. In fact, the illustrations have helped me to recover the few readers who share the same single criticism that I have received: the length of my children's book. Due to the fact that their children love the illustrations, they are able to entertain their children and keep their attentions, whether they read the whole thing or not.

So, once again, as I'm sure I've said many times in the past, thank you oh so very much. Illustrations, as you already realize I'm sure, do wonders for a children's book. I am truly appreciative of the fine job you've done on mine."

I just wanted to take the time to thank you, for the beautiful art work that you brought to life on the cover of my book, Mischief in the Mushroom Patch. I was asked by my publisher to describe the cover I had envisioned for my book, I knew immediately what it was supposed to be! Though my publisher loved the idea, they couldn't create it, and that is where you came in.

You so carefully listened to what I had to say, to each specific description, and so patiently made the changes that I requested. Your professionalism, not to mention your amazing talent, made working with you a pleasure.

I remember so clearly, the day I saw Lilly, Boris and Jack...the day we got them right! The characters had been with me for so long, and with you for such a short time, and yet, because of your skill you managed to bring them to life! They are, especially to me, simply beautifully! And your cover is always the first thing everybody notices!

I had to e-mail you to let you know I received my 1st copy of my book. I tell you, I love the pictures. You really did a great job on the pictures. All I could do was look at the pictures. Potato looks like has soo much potassium and I can't get over String Bean Red shoes, Broccoli looks like he 's been up all night drinking with his afro hair do. And Corn on the Cob looks like she think she all that plus a rack of chips. I just sit and laugh at those pictures then I decided to read the story. Thanks so much for doing such a great job.
