Dancing Girl

the work and its author

Lena has illustrated many magazines and books, such as My First Book of Words, and numerous Hello Readers for Scholastic Inc., including the book Dancing with Manatees, which has sold more than half a million copies in countries all over the world.

A work in watercolor. Oldie, but goodie. I have always loved this promotional illustration of my wonderful niece dancing to the music!
