I just read the sad news about the passing of
Jan Ormerod yesterday. Jan was an artistic hero of mine from the moment I saw her book,
The Frog Prince. I can think of no greater tribute than to showcase a bit of her work here. I hope if you are unfamiliar with Jan's illustrations, you will take the time to savor her
books. That you can find her listings at Simon& Schuster, Puffin, HarperCollins, Walker Books, and Random House to name a few, is a testimony to her appeal and endurance. Her rich legacy of art and stories is such a blessing to all of us who love books for children.

"I find the challenge of communicating with both child and adult-working on two levels in one book--a demanding, intriguing and rewarding task." - Jan Ormerod
