Picture Books That Share A Love Of NatureNeeb illustrated both books using mixed media. "I wanted to capture the beauty of Ontario's cottage country, so I used photographs taken at my cabin as the backgrounds. I built a wooden model for the cabin and used paper cutouts for the characters." Neeb is best known for his historical picture books, most notably Pharaoh's Arrow (2017) about a young girl's quest to meet the Pharaoh in ancient Egypt. Neeb, a retired schoolteacher, started writing and illustrating books after seeing a need for historical narratives. "There are so many information books about history, but not a lot of historical fiction narratives. I wanted to create books that teachers could use in their classrooms." His cabin books are a departure from his usual story telling about history. "These books are much more personal and contemporary. I wanted to share how much fun spending family time at a cabin, or even in the outdoors, can be. I hope I've captured that joy in my latest books," says Neeb. Neeb's books are available at major retailers or through his website, https://GeorgeNeeb.ca Contact George Neeb ***@georgeneeb.ca Photos: https://www.prlog.org/ https://www.prlog.org/ https://www.prlog.org/ End
