Is it me or is it Jennifer?

A while ago I did a series of simple cartoons about a character called Jennifer. I’ve just put a piece of one up as my profile pic on my Facebook ‘Like’ page, http://www.facebook.com/pages/judy-horacek/129925351232?ref=s (trying to prove to myself I can do this whole new social media thing!)

Hands Up

Good picture book news about Yellow below. The sadder news is that These are my Hands is about to go out of print. So if you were considering buying a copy for someone for Christmas, better get to the shops now!

Yellow and the Magpie

judy — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 23:47:21 +0000

Yellow is my favourite colour got a wonderful review in Magpies, the best place to be reviewed for Australian children’s books. The review begins ‘It doesn’t matter if yellow is your favourite colour or not, Judy Horacek’s board book displays an enthusiasm for many colours that will captivate both pre and early readers’ followed by lots of nice comments . I’ve had some great feedback from little children too, a number of them can ‘read’ it already.
