The new picture book, "Carla's Cloud Catastrophe" has been released. Beth Bence Reinke's delightful, "WHAT IF" kind of story comes from a question that children may often ask. "What if, one day, all the clouds fell from the sky?"
Carla's solution to the problem is the perfect ending to a fun filled adventure. The book is available from 4RV PUBLISHING LLC and Amazon.com as well as any and all bookstores. All you need to do is give your bookstore the
ISBN ( 978-0-9828346-0-2 )number
for them to order the book. OR, you can go directly to the 4RV Publishing site and get your copy.
What on earth will the Mayor of Clarksville do with all those clouds? Carla knows!
I always get excited when a book I was chosen to illustrate is released. This book has great appeal for boys and girls alike. It is always a pleasure for an illustrator to receive a manuscript that has so many ideas for illustrations that you have to choose from the dozens of images that pop into your head as you read the manuscript. It also meant that I had to stretch a bit to create some of the images. My research included asking permission of certain people to use them as subjects in the book. It also meant a trip to our recycling center and town DPW to get photos and sketches of heavy road equipment. I was fortunate enough, at the same time, to have an entire road crew working on our road. The machines they were using were perfect sources for some of the illustrations.
