I’ve recently illustrated the third book in Vermont author Susie Caron’s “Between You and Me” children’s picture book series, Twee’ for Two. See my previous posts about the first two books, Twee’ and I Am Twee’, in this series about a little pine tree who grows up to discover big life lessons.
About Twee’ for Two:
“In this third picture book-allegory from Susie’s ‘Between You and Me’ series, Twee’ realizes she has no friends, except for Rock, who never talks with her. Twee’ can see children playing in the apple orchard, and she wishes for a friend who can play with her. Her wish comes true, but not in the way she anticipates. Join Twee’ as she learns the meaning of real friendship and discovers that new friends can be right around the corner.”
I created the illustrations for the book by sketching them first in pencil, then scanning and finishing them in the computer using Adobe Illustrator to simulate a soft, ink-and-wash technique.
Twee’ for Two is a fun tale about a tree and her feline friend that children are sure to enjoy. It’s available from online booksellers such as Amazon.com & BarnesandNoble.com, or you can order it through your local bookstore.

I recently finished illustrating the second book of Vermont author Susie Caron’s “Between You and Me” series, I Am Twee’. Read my previous post here about illustrating the first book in the series, Twee’.
About I Am Twee’:
“In this second picture book-allegory from Susie’s ‘Between You And Me’ series, this young pine tree feels useless because she has nothing to share. Twee’ notices the apple trees in the valley offer many gifts, which draw children and adults to visit them. However, the people don’t even see Twee’, and she begins to wish she were an apple tree. After many seasons, Twee’ is ready to give up, when an unusual event changes her mind. Join Twee’ as she journeys to discover that by being herself and different she has something special to contribute.”

I Am Twee’ is a delightful story about discovering and appreciating the special person each of us was created to be, and how we all have gifts to share with others. The book was released this past month and is available from online booksellers such as Amazon.com & BarnesandNoble.com, or may be ordered through your local bookstore.

I recently illustrated a wonderful children’s book written by Vermont author Susie E. Caron entitled Twee’. From the book’s cover: “Twee’ is an adorable character in the first allegorical picture book from Susie’s ‘Between You And Me Series.’ She is a little pine tree who believes everything belongs to her – including the right to complain. When a boulder drops down unexpectedly in front of her and blocks her view, she is more than frustrated – she is stuck! Later a violent storm alters her thinking and her feelings begin to change. Join Twee’ as she makes this inward journey to learn about herself and how to relate to another who is different and separate but who has purpose, no matter how humble.”
To create the illustrations, I first sketched them in pencil, then scanned and finished them in the computer using Adobe Illustrator to simulate a soft, ink-and-wash technique.
I enjoyed illustrating this book and believe you and your children will enjoy both reading the story together and the endearing character of Twee’. The book has been released and is now available to order from booksellers. Click here to order the book from Amazon.com and click here to learn more about the book and its author.
