Over the last three and a half years of featuring illustrators on Saturdays, I thought it was time to give the fabulous talent that has been featured to show off something new. Below, you will find the illustrators who sent in a new piece for me to use. If you were featured in 2011 or 2010 and missed the deadline for getting in your artowrk, please send me something and I will add it to this post.

An excerpt from My Pony by Susan Jeffers:

I want a pony.
I want a pony more than anything in the world.

Dust Devil
by Anne Isaacs (Author), Paul Zelinsky (Illustrator)

Reading level: Ages 5-9

Hardcover: 48 pages

Publisher: Schwartz & Wade (September 14, 2010)

Source of book: Publisher

Publisher’s synopsis: Here is the thrilling, thigh-slapping companion to Swamp Angel, the beloved Caldecott Honor–winning picture book.

Swamp Angel has a reputation as the greatest woodswoman and wildest wildcat in all of Tennessee. But when she grows too big for that state, she moves to Montana, a place so sizeable, even Angel can fit in. It’s there that she wrestles a raging storm to the ground and, at its center, finds herself a sidekick—a horse she names Dust Devil. And when Backward Bart, the orneriest, ugliest outlaw ever known, starts terrorizing the prairie, seems like Angel and Dust Devil may be the only ones strong enough to stop him.

Children will be captivated by the beauty and exaggerated humor of Paul Zelinsky’s American primitive–style paintings and the wit and energy of Anne Isaacs’s unparalleled storytelling. Here is an original folktale starring an extraordinary gal who is as feisty as she is funny and as courageous as she is kind.
