Tietoja tekijästä
Gilles Tibo was born in 1951 in Nicolet, Quebec. He was self taught and knew he wanted to be an illustrator at an early age. He began his career in the mid 70's, by creating comic strips, and in 1975 illustrating his first children's book. It was not until he published the picture-book edition of näytä lisää Edgar Allen Poe's poem, Annabel Lee in 1987, that his paintings rewarded him with international praise. Tibo uses a medium called air-brush painting and adds detail later with colored pencils. The National Library in Quebec holds the original paintings for the first book in the Simon series, Simon and the Snowflakes. Tibo has won many awards, including the 1989 14th Owl Prize (Japan's International Competition for Illustrators) for Simon and the Snowflakes, the 1992 Governor General's Literary Award/Children's Literature for best illustrations in a French book for Simon et la Ville de Carton and the 1996 Governor General's Literary Award/Children's Literature for best French text for Le Secret de Madame Lumbago. He was also a Canada Council fellow. Tibo has created over 100 posters and screen prints for theatre and for different cultural events. His illustrations can also be seen on the covers of records, novels and magazines. (Bowker Author Biography) näytä vähemmän

Simon and the Wind Tekijä: Gilles Tibo
Simon tries to fly with the wind using a bubble, birds and clouds. Uncontracted
Pretty cute! God is a little girl and preaches tolerance for our differences. Some people put up church bells, some knock 'em down, it's all good!
"Simon loves summer so much that he never wants it to end. When he sees the first signs of fall, he seeks advice from a heron and a cow, who tell him how to make summer last. Simon tries by making the frogs sing, pleasing the butterflies with paper flowers, and keeping the sun high in the sky. Even though he fails, Simon discovers that there are definite advantages to the coming of fall." -- Amazon.ca
"Simon loves the moon, especially when it is full and shines high in the sky. Then he discovers that it gets smaller every night. Why? And where do the pieces fall? Simon tries to find the answer and the missing pieces, before he happily discovers the moon returning to its original shape, round and shiny, like a bright balloon." -- Amazon.ca
