Friends, help me remember… My father-in-law likes #picturebooks with beautiful #watercolor paintings, especially of animals and natural subjects. Can you recommend some? #KidLit #childrensbooks #kidlitart - ThreadSky

Grand Canyon by Jason Chin! The cutouts in the pages showing past and present are especially clever.

@ginaperry.bsky.social recommended Jason Chin too. I might get Grand Canyon or Island (the Galapagos one)

Feathers Are Not Just For Flying, Melissa Stewart and Sarah Brannen.
Summertime Sleepers…and more by the duo.

Ooh, I have one coming next year... Other ones I can think of Babas Garden and I Talk Like a River, by Sydney Smith

Those are beautiful books, thanks for the recommendations!

Im assuming you already have Jumper on your list.

studiohoffmann.bsky.social•380 days ago

I do! Unfortunately, no one seems to have it in stock this week

mirkahokkanen.bsky.social•380 days ago

Oh, and if youre looking to buy, did you check ebay?

It just won the award. What about Watercress? Its actually interesting topic, because I was looking for watercolor books with nature setting a few weeks ago when I was doing research for my book. I didnt find any that I was looking for in my minds eye. If you share the list, id ❤️ to see it
