Books Magazine
Last week I had the opportunity to meet Ethan Long, the talented illustrator of Ann Paul’s Iguana books (Tortuga in Trouble, Count on Culebra, Fiesta Fiasco, Manana Iguana) and many others. It was fun to compare notes about today’s children’s book world and hear about his many projects. Ethan lives in Florida but was spending several weeks in Los Angeles, working and promoting his new books. When I visited his website I discovered the report of his visit to Pages Books in Manhatten Beach and the simple but brilliant art project he did there with the kids, turning outlines of their hands into lively birds. The thumb became the bird’s head and the splayed out fingers the wings and tail. To see photos of these charming “hand birds” and learn more about his books, go to his website/blog The Ethan Long Studio.
