Jeannette Canyon Interview
Dear Students, Miss Lee, Ms. Yanoff and all participating schools,
First, I would like to share how honored I am that Over in the Jungle has been nominated for the 2010 NYSRA Charlotte Award – WOW- Thank you all so much!!! I hope you have a great year reading, exploring and making new discoveries with each book you venture into!!
It was such a great pleasure to not only have the opportunity to illustrate this very playful counting rhyme, but to have the amazing experience of doing research on such a fascinating habitat. One of the things that I truly love about being a picture book creator, is that I get to spend a great deal of time learning about this amazing world that we live in! I of course, also get to spend a lot of time creating stories and making pictures out of clay – and I have always loved to create stories and make things with my hands.
