Tania McCartney is a book creator. She has made well over 60 books for children and adults, and has illustrated, edited and designed many of them, too. Her works have both shortlisted and won an array of awards, and have reached the hands of children in 20 countries around the globe. A children's literacy ambassador and the founder of Kids' Book Review, Tania spends her time writing, drawing, reading (and sometimes working) from her studio in Canberra, Australia. A voracious traveller, she has lived in Paris, London and Beijing. Plume: Global Nibbler is the second book in the Plume series, encouraging children's curiosity about the world around them.
As always, Tania's illustrations are simply divine, and her characters completely charming, especially their facial expressions. Her fun with wordplay, onomatopoeia and descriptive language will provide much rich and fruitful discussion. And - oh my goodness! - the gorgeous endpapers, frontispiece, and the scrumptious textured cover elevate this to a work of real art. -Tania McCartney, Kids' Book Review
