Who is the targeted audience?

The ladybug's story is for kids 4 to 10 year old

with a rich vocabulary presented in rhymes.

I supported the story with colourful illustrations which will engage a child's imagination and interest.

The book also contains an educational section

related to: "Amazing facts about ladybugs", their

life cycle and anatomy. Pictures of the most

common lady beetles in Ontario and in

North America are presented with their scientific names and brief description of habitat and

behaviours.

Although the book is for kids, I will be glad

if the parents find it interesting as well.

What is the reason for creating the book?

My goal was to create a book similar to these

which I remember from my childhood and I still

enjoy reading. My efforts and sleepless nights

during the creation of the book will make sense

if the book inspires children to observe and

respect nature, and use the book as a source

for their first scientific assignment or research.

I hope it will increase the public interest and

knowledge of such a beautiful beetle, which

provides clean natural alternative to the

industrial agriculture pesticides production.

It seems some people know only the

aesthetical value of the beetle, so they are very pleasantly surprised to find its place in

preserving the fragile global environmental

balance.

Reader's comments about the book:

Hey Victor, I really enjoyed your book!!!!!

The Story is a very enchanting! The artwork is beautiful and engaging – the pictures really capture the mood of a magical land. I like how the pictures were nicely interspersed with the text. The pictures on page 3 remind me of children’s books I used to read when I was a kid – maybe it was the shape of the picture outline or the light tones, I’m not sure why it triggered those memories but the result is very effective. The darker toned pictures really draw the reader into the scene and the colours look very rich. The characters are great – I like how each have their own uniqueness. Good attention to detail - I really liked the ladybug page numbers and the ‘this book belongs to’ – it really helps to personalize the book. I was glad that you put the ‘science facts’ at the end so that it did not interfere with the flow of the story. The front and back covers make the book look very enticing and immediately show quality.

Really great, enjoyable work!!!!

I got it and just read it cover to cover! You are an amazing illustrator and I can’t believe you rhymed the whole thing so perfectly. And I loved the intro about finishing the book after so long. A brilliant children’s book.

Sylvie Sabourin sent me this lovely image of a lady beetle - Coccinella Calligrapha. She found it in her garden in Stittsville, Ontario on May 26th, 2011 . Sylvie is a friend and a great photographer too so I am glad she shares with us this beautiful picture. Thank you Sylvie.
