I was so very excited
when I got the chance to meet the wonderful
and oh so talented illustrator Vanessa Brantley Newton
last night at Borders Books on Park Avenue in NYC.
She was there along with the author, Tori Spelling,
to sign copies of her new book,
"Presenting Tallulah"
It was so great to meet someone whose work I admire so much.
I love her illustration style, it's so cheerful and whimsical, take a peek here.
Vanessa was so very gracious and full of joy, too....Just like her illustrations!
She took the time to sign 3 copies of the book for my little girls (which they loved, btw)
and one I will be donating to our school.
Really, thanks so very much Vanessa, your were such a JOY!
It was such a pleasure to meet you!
Best of luck with Tallulah....
little kids of all ages will adore this book - add it to your collection, today!

I am glad you got to meet Ms Newton. Thank you for sharing her art with us it is fun and whimsical. The photo of you is wonderful. Just between you and me (and whoever else reads this comment) I think your work is as good or better, I love your characters,especially Madeline. It is a hard business to break into but I wish you success.
