About this item
Here is a book babies can really sink their gums into. Built for the way babies read, Indestructibles are printed on an amazing paperlike material that can’t be ripped, torn, or punctured. Indestructibles are 100 percent safe and nontoxic, and if they get too funky, just throw them in the washing machine or dishwasher. They’re made for baby to hold, grab, chew, pull, and bend, and are designed to create an even more special bond between reader and baby. Printed without words, the parent gets to make up the story, or just cuddle with baby while they explore together. The creators of Indestructibles are Amy Pixton, a mother of triplets, and her mother-in-law, Kaaren Pixton, an artist and children’s educator. Hey, Diddle Diddle introduces the work of Jonas Sickler, a children’s illustrator whose paintings, full of detail and personality, have a fresh, whimsical sensibility, a pleasure for both baby and parents.
About the Author
JONAS SICKLER lives in a cozy 1924 bungalow in Syracuse, NY with his wife Kelly and his two boys Gabe and Oliver. When he is not shoveling snow, Jonas is creating artwork from his perfectly sized dormer studio. Jonas is most inspired by vintage textile design, vintage animation, vintage books, as well as old toys and games.
Jonas Sickler has always been influenced by the beautiful illustrations of Mary Blaire, as well as the fantastic textile designs of Alexander Girard.
Jonas is a graduate of the Syracuse University school of Illustration. He began his career illustrating children's magazines. Jonas' first proffessional assignment was for the October cover of Cicada Magazine in 2001. Since then, Jonas has added numerous periodical illustrations to his portfolio. He is now focusing on illustrating children's books (but still accepts editorial assignments) . His first six books are part of the INDESTRUCTIBLES® series by Workman Publishing Company.
