Red is STILL Best!

Outside the snow has blanketed everything in white - but inside the Annick house red is best!

Today we had a visit from one of our favourite picture book authors - Kathy Stinson. Coincidently, Kathy's daughter Kelly - the inspiration for her book Red is Best - celebrates her 30th birthday today. I wonder if red is still Kelly's favourite colour?

Watch for Kathy's latest project, A Pocket Can Have a Treasure in It, coming to a bookstore near you this spring!

Love that new book smell!

With the holidays fading into a distant memory, all of us at Annick are hard at work preparing for an exciting new season. Although it may look like winter outside, inside the Annick front office Kathy and Lisa are busy unpacking our beautiful new SPRING books!

The front office is Annick’s Grand Central Station—books arriving and departing, being sent all over the world. Kathy and Lisa are always working hard submitting books for awards, sending out review copies, preparing for fairs, and welcoming visiting authors.

Earlier this week The Apprentice’s Masterpiece by Melanie Little arrived (hot off the press!) at the office and all of us have been oohing and ahhing over how beautiful it looks. One of our favorite things about working at Annick is seeing the end result of everyone’s hard work—a beautiful new book—and holding it in your hands for the first time.
