Robin Luebs - Illustrator

I went to the "Meet The Pros" on Wednesday, October 16, and was privileged to meet Illustrator Robin Luebs and get to hear her speak.  She brought a copy of each of her books for us too look at, had a slide-show presentation, spoke and had some of her "dummy" books that get sent to publishers when you are promoting and idea and trying to sell it.

"How Do You Say Good Night?" is one that she did the illustration work on. She told us how she taught herself how to paint the fur on all of the different animals and how she really enjoyed doing that part. This book has a set of animals going across each two page spread & they are different on every spread as you go through the book.

 
"Please Pick Me Up, Mama!" was Robin's first book that she not only did the illustrations, but also wrote the story, too. It is about a little girl raccoon and her Mama.

"Who said Coo?" was a book that Robin was able to do with her twin sister, Deborah Ruddell. Her sister wrote the story and Robin did all of the illustrations. It was a great experience for her to get to work with her sister. She said it was something that they had been trying to do and it finally became a reality.

Robin is, of course, currently working on another book that I'll look forward to seeing in the future.


She has a "fun" section on her website that has printables on it that you can share with little ones. Please check her out at Robin Luebs - Children's Book Author and Illustrator.
