Descripción: About the AuthorLizelot Versteeg (1980) studied graphic design at the Academy for Art and Design in ’s-Hertogenbosch, Holland. Since 2002 she worked as a designer for several bureaus in Holland and Belgium, and also worked as a freelance designer and illustrator. She has always had a passion for illustrating, and a love for children’s books. This came together in the beginning of 2012, when her son Lucas was born. She stayed at home for several months, in which she created the concept for her first series of children’s books, Colors Everywhere, Things Everywhere and Animals Everywhere. These books were published under the name her own mother called her when she was young: Lotje, short for Lizelot. The distinctive style of the Lotje books consists of simple, joyful drawings with bright colors. Creating children’s books has been a lifelong dream of Lizelot, and she hopes many more books may follow!An interactive, playful seek-and find book for children!Winter is here!

Where do the animals sleep?And can you find the snowdrop on every page?A playful seek-and-find book about prepositions and nature in the winter. For toddlers ages 30 months and up, with a focus on the child's language development.Guided Reading Level IReview“This is a cute book to engage young children learning about the winter. It focuses on squirrel and his friends, specifically where they sleep. The different homes are shown with the animal either sleeping, getting ready to sleep or getting sleepy. The illustrations are bright and colorful making them visually appealing. Each page has a snowdrop as well as a robin and the children are encouraged to find it as they read. This highly interactive book that would work well as a read aloud in large and small groups. A good choice for a kindergarten or pre-school classroom as well as a family library.” - Carla Johnson-Hicks“Squirrel in Winter by Lizelot Versteeg. Clavis Publishing. 5 Stars. A children’s board book with cozy, cheerful winter illustrations about a squirrel saying a temporary goodbye and goodnight to other animals until spring, replete with a snowman and a snowy roof and, well, snowy everything. The only thing that vexed me was the question, “Can you find the snowdrop?” Being from the American south (New Orleans)--as opposed to Holland or some place colder than Louisiana, upon first reading I did not know what a snowdrop was! Lol. So now I know. (It is a bulbous plant widely cultivated in Europe that bears drooping white flowers during late winter―“snowy time” for us childlike adults.) This did not deter me from enjoying the book, the lovely moon, the sleeping owl and the clearly illustrated wintery landscapes and snow-laden greenery that all indicate a slowing down of life for all of us―providing the deepest quiet, that recess before the busiest time of the year to come―spring. But until then, squirrel rests curled in a tree on a bed that nature has always provided. Highly recommend.” - Producervan in Sedona, AZ from New Orleans & L.A.“I enjoyed reading this book. I especially like the idea of finding something in the painting, in the book. It is surely a good interaction with children via the book. However, the drawing of other animals are all fantastic, only the squirrel could be better, because it looks like a fox, honestly.” - Zöe Yu
