I'm a (relatively) young father of 3 kids under 6, who works from home, just starting up as a children's book illustrator. What you're doing here and in your family is just great and inspiring! <br /> <br />New books and Authors: Oliver Jeffers is awesome. I love when both the story and art in kids books are strong, probably because I’m an illustrator but also a children’s book writer in the midst. Some of both my kids and my favourites are the following; <br />"Jack and The Flum Flum Tree" written by Julia Donaldson & illustrated by David Roberts<br />"The Great Lollipop Caper” written / illustrated by Dan Krall<br />“Iggy Peck, Architect” written by Andrea Beaty & illustrated by David Roberts<br />“The Curious Garden” written / illustrated by Peter Brown<br />“Children Make Terrible Pets” written / illustrated by Peter Brown<br />“The Mighty LaLouche” written by Matthew Olshan & illustrated by Sophie Blackall<br />Some great books here and I hope to be adding to the list with some of my own one day. <br />Cheers, DerekDerek R.
