Renata liwska biography of donald

Amy Hest likes to walk. Her books are always for children, and frankly she would never consider writing for anyone else! She claims to have absolutely no hidden talents, unless you count an uncanny interest in coffee ice cream and certain dogs in the Wheaten Terrier or Airedale family. She likes movies and reading, of course!

We interviewed Renata Liwska, award-winning children's book illustrator, notably of New York Times best selling The Quiet Book, and author and illustrator of.

Renata Liwska has been drawing for as long as she can remember. Her old schoolbooks overflowed with sketches and that has continued in her sketchbooks to this day. Renata starts a project by finding a quiet space in which to sketch, and then allowing the characters to do whatever their hearts desire. She follows her pencil to see where it goes and is often surprised and delighted where it leads her.

Her books have been national bestsellers and are award winners including a Gold Medal from the Society of Illustrators NY and nominations for three Governor Generals awards for Literacy for picture book illustration in Canada. Their newest picture book, Bunny Should be Sleeping , releases on March 5th.

Renata Liwska grew up in Warsaw, Poland, and now lives in Calgary, Canada.

Welcome Amy and Renata,. Tell us a little about yourselves. How long have you been writing or illustrating? What is your favorite type of book to write or illustrate? I love writing picture books. I love writing chapter books for older kids. I love the challenge of writing a story that makes sense!
