My Little Pony is the new big thing at my house. My daughter just loves Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy. While searching the library online card catalog, I noticed My Little Pony Under the Sparkling Sea was available at the library. Woo hoo! A perfect surprise for my daughter! This will make bedtime story extra special! I checked it out on my way home from work, and as I was looking through it in the library, I found myself really impressed with the art. The first thing I noticed was her realism; the mermares fins resembled the fins of a beta fish. Then I noticed her thoughtful use of color and texture. She also captures the My Little Pony character personalities very well. Pinkie Pie is bubbly, and her curly mane and tail bounce along with her. Rainbow Dash is ready to fly off to the next adventure. Under the Sparkling Sea is beautiful children’s book, that inspires me to check out more of her work. Mary Jane is a well known children’s book author and illustrator. She has won several awards and also teaches online art classes. She has a terrific website where she shares her work, and you can learn more about what art courses she offers. My daughter loves books, so I have read a lot of children’s books. It’s always a treat to find exceptional books that send my daughter off to slumberland, and inspire me at that same time.
