“The simple, almost poetic language used alongside questions and provocations will capture the curiosity in the hearts of children, making it a fun and interactive read-aloud… This book is a unique and welcome addition to school and library book collections …” — Canadian Children’s Book News

Sounds All Around introduces the science of sound in a fun, picture-book style. The text by Susan Hughes is brilliant: it’s inviting and approachable and firmly science-based too. I also illustrated a companion book about light. I had so much fun working on these books with editor Jennifer Stokes and designer Andrew Dupuis. They really encouraged a light and playful approach that came through in the artwork.
