Treasures to Find
About:
Treasures to Find
by Dale McNevin
Local artist Dale McNevin is best known for her vibrant, detailed illustrations of others' stories, most notably the children's stories of Island author David Weale.*
In this, her first children's book, the quality of her lyrical verse is a match for her well-established artistic excellence. In word and image she conjures up a
compelling invitation to read and to enjoy the magic world of books. As she explores a variety of book treasures with memorable characters and story, she provides a powerful voice for the joy of reading. Dale's inclusion of "critter Illustrations" by Alyssa Murphy, a young reader and artist, lend added appeal to her own rich work.
Treasures to Find is available in local bookstores and through Acorn Press (acornpresscanada.com).
ISBN : 978-189483855-9
*Among my bookshelf favorites are these books written by David Weale and illustrated by Dale McNevin:
The True Meaning of Crumbfest
Everything That Shines
Three Tall Trees

A Note From Mrs. Buttons...
Over the years I have immensely enjoyed many wonderful stories with children at my work and at home. I am pleased to have the opportunity to share here some of the favorites from my bookshelf. Most of my reading/gift recommendations will be for books still readily available; from time to time, however, I will highlight a "backyard treasure" - a book that should be snapped up should you have the great good luck to see it in a yard sale!
I, by the way, concur with C. S. Lewis and George MacDonald that a "good children's book" is one that can be enjoyed at age three or fifty-three.
