AUTHOR OF AWARD-WINNING, TREE SPIRITS

Teachers are calling it ’The Antidote to Screen Time’

TREE SPIRITS AROUND THE WORLD reintroduces readers to Tilly (the curious mouse from Book One: Tree Spirits) and follows her as she searches for kindred spirits across the planet.

During this journey, which spans ten different countries and six continents, Tilly helps children explore and appreciate the diversity our planet has to offer, and the spirits that tie us together.

With the full-color photographs, each paired with charmingly illustrated overlays, and stiff paperback binding, TREE SPIRITS AROUND THE WORLD’s high-value format makes it highly giftable. Readers can also enjoy drawing with the tracing paper included inside.

Louise Wannier is a serial entrepreneur, artist and now author. Tree Spirits is her first Interactive children’s’ picture book (the first in an envisioned series to help stimulate the imagination and help develop emotional intelligence). As an artist, she is fascinated by observing patterns, noticing closely how light interacts with both nature and our intense, dynamic urban landscapes. She attempts to capture and present visually the energy and spirit observed and felt in our complex world. Lately she has become captivated by the presence of abstract patterns within both natural and manmade objects and structures and noticing that some can be revisited whilst others are only present in the moment the picture was taken. She loves the discovery too of how the camera shifts our focus and emphasis from what our eyes natively see. Louise currently lives in Pasadena, California.

April Tatiana Jackson has worn many creative hats throughout her multifaceted freelance career, but being a children’s book illustrator has by far been the most rewarding. April is a Los Angeles native who grew up with a love for the arts and creative expression. She received her degree in communications from the beautiful University of California, Santa Barbara, but she’s happy to be settled back in Los Angeles where she currently resides with her husband and son, River.
