Shopkeepers Bear

The Shopkeeper’s Bear Book Release

I’m so excited to officially announce the release of “The Shopkeeper’s Bear” written by Janie DeVos and illustrated by Rebecca Evans (yours truly)! It is an adorable story, and if I do say so myself… beautiful illustrations 🙂 I couldn’t wait to share it with you all. You can purchase the book on Amazon.

Check out our official Press Release:

 

The Shopkeeper's BearLittle Giggles Press is pleased to announce their newest release just in time for the holidays, The Shopkeeper’s Bear.   Written by seasoned children’s book author, Janie DeVos, and richly illustrated by Rebecca Evans, The Shopkeeper’s Bear has the makings of becoming a true classic. The fun begins when a far-sighted shopkeeper mistakes a bear for a woman “wrapped up in a fur” and hires her as his new assistant.  Business increases, but once the shopkeeper realizes that his assistant is a bear, will her smart running of the place be enough to keep her employed there?  Perhaps not.  But maybe something far more important will.  Written in DeVos’ signature style of rhyme, this gentle tale of love, acceptance and tolerance is sure to touch the hearts of both young and old alike.  The book is available through numerous bookstores, and online stores such as Amazon.  It is also available directly through Little Giggles Press, at www.littlegigglespress.com; as well as the author’s website at www.janiedevos.com, and the illustrator’s website at www.rebeccaevans.net.  The book is age appropriate for 4 – 7.

 

Happy Reading!

The Shopkeeper’s Bear

The last few weeks I’ve been racing toward my deadline with Little Giggles Press for the illustrations for “The Shopkeepers Bear”. I just finished and wrapped them all up and sent them off to the Publisher. It’s been such a fun project to work on having her adorable little bear smile (or should I say big bear smile, since she’s not really that small!) staring up at me from the pages on my drawing board. And I’ve had such a good time working with her author Janie DeVos and Editor Pat McGrath Avery. But I’m excited to finally send her off for the next step in her journey and then in November finally get to see her in print! Just as a teaser I though you all might like to get a peek inside our newest book, but keep and eye on my blog because we’re just getting started on our next book which I’m SO excited to be illustrating!
