It has been a long time since my last post, and I have been doing anything but hibernating. I recently completed the last book in the Grade 3 Level series Earth has a Fever for ABDO Publisher's Magic Wagon Books imprint. These will be in US schools in the fall of this year. I will be posting links to those books as soon as they are printed and available online. In the meantime I will be offering sample images on this blog and describing the process through which these images were created and the research that went into finalizing the text for this series. In the meantime a 5-book series for Grades 6-12 for Marshall Cavendish Benchmark entitled Climate Crisis will also be going to print. This series is a more in-depth look at the causes and ramifications of climate change for all living species on our planet. These books are illustrated with full-colour photographs. The image above is a view from space of the formation of hurricane Katrina in the Gulf of Mexico.
