Book Trailers for Children’s Books
My publisher
actually managed most of the creation of the book trailer with my final
approval. The process involved creating story boards and sequencing the
images. Thank goodness someone helped
with all of that! However, the music choice was all mine since the initial
selections were not what I was looking for.
Gus’ story needed something strong, courageous, with heroic themes. I also wanted something that was a little bit
edgy with some tension, even a bit of a scary feeling. The music that was finally chosen fits that
bill nicely and I am very pleased with the final version of the book
trailer. I’d love to hear what others
think of it!

NEW from beloved illustrator/author, Judith Caseley, Z is for Zebra is a delightful reading romp for the very young child.

A delight for the mind and a visual feast for young book lovers and their parents, each page features an alphabet letter and a highly colorful animal mosaic along with quirky, funny memorable phrases.

Hi friends who love children's books! It's me, Judith Caseley, and I wrote and illustrated Z is for Zebra: a Mosaic Menagerie. It took me over three years to complete, as I taught myself how to do mosaics. It was a journey with lots of cuts on my hands! But so much fun. I hope you enjoy it! My two year old granddaughter loves the pictures and knows the rhymes by heart.
