    Joanne is the award-winning illustrator of such books as Beautiful, Brave, Love and Hilde Cracks the Case series, Another Day as Emily and The Dancing Pancake by Eileen Spinelli and Peace, Baby! by Linda Ashman. She lives in Amsterdam with her family.

    Now we are done with all the formality, let's get to the good stuff. I was born in Malaysia but grew up in Los Angeles. I've had all kinds of adventures, good, bad and the crazy and it had a big influence in my art since I was a very young kid. I love traveling and going to new places. Luckily I have a family who loves it just as much as I do. I am terrible at cooking but I love to eat and luckily my husband is a great cook. Photography, hiking in the mountains and being in nature are my favorite things to do. .

    My favorite mediums are pen and pencil. I don't like using sketch books because it makes me feel confined to a space. Which also means, my house is full of loose sketches everywhere. I mean everywhere. My children are my greatest pride . Usually I don't talk this much because I'm an introvert but I think it's okay to share just a little bit of myself with the moms, dads and kids out there.

I just ordered this book as a gift for my daughter for Christmas and am very pleased with it! The story is very well written and beautifully illustrated which will keep your little one enthralled as you read aloud. I love the story as it builds excitement for Santa's arrival and I look forward to making this a new Christmas tradition in our home. I'm going to buy some additional copies for gifts because I like it so much! Thumbs up!

2.0 out of 5 stars the reindeer are happy and so are this kids the next morning

So I know it's after Christmas and all but my little guy found this on my tablet last night and wanted to read it. I originally requested this from Netgalley so we could read it over the holiday break and we never got around to it.

Santa is frazzled and behind on Christmas Eve and forgets to feed his reindeer before their ride (bad Santa). It also happens to be a rather foggy evening and one little boy is concerned that Santa won't be able to find his way, so they mix up some Reindeer Dust and sprinkle it outside and when Santa comes, the reindeer are happy and so are this kids the next morning.

I think the concept is rather cute but the story isn't very well developed. The Reindeer Dust was thought up by William so that Santa could see through the fog, or at least that is what they lead you to assume. But it also had oatmeal in it. Was it supposed to feed the reindeer as well? It wasn't very clear what the purpose was exactly. Also, the reindeer's hooves appeared to sparkle afterward eating the reindeer dust, going back to me thinking it was supposed to help Santa see through the fog.

On the plus side, the pictures were really cute and I really liked how it had a recipe in the back for kids to make their own.

Note: In finding the pics above online, I found this as well. Makes WAY more sense now, the food smell brings the reindeer.

So why the sparkles? Maybe I am being dense but I do read a lot of children's books (kiddo is 6) and this one just didn't make a lot of sense.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another One Bites the Dust
Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2014
This is an amusing story of a Christmas Eve beset with problems meteorological and nutritional. What would happen if Santa were too busy to feed the reindeer and then they also got caught in a fog bank? I love the idea of Santa being as hurried and frazzled right before Christmas as the rest of the world. The expressions on the reindeer faces when they see he hasn't filled their food trough are so sad (but the reindeer wearing leg warmers is hilarious). Then it's William to the rescue as he studies the weather and comes up with a plan. Kids will enjoy the whimsical illustrations and rhyming text. This could be the beginning of a new holiday tradition. Read the story of excellent problem-solving by a really smart kid, then have your own kids mix up some reindeer dust of their own. Families who enjoy having the Elf on the Shelf visit for the holidays will probably want to use this recipe to show the reindeer some love.

I read an e-book provided by the publisher through NetGalley.
