- Biografía breve
- Antoinette made her picture-book debut with the New York Times best-selling Not A Box, an American Library Association Seuss Geisel Honor book, and one of the New York Times Ten Best Illustrated Books of the Year. She was a recipient of the 2010 Sendak Fellowship.
Antoinette got a BFA at the UCLA School of Fine Arts and then spent years in the world of design and advertising. She was a creative director, then a VP, at Disney before she took a flying leap to pursue her sixth-grade dream of writing and illustrating picture books.
Dreams she did not achieve: ballerina (who knew you had to be able to touch your toes?); astronomer (Math! Not a strong suit); and organic farmer (there’s still dirt and there’s still time.)
Antoinette lives in Southern California and reads and draws with kids in local school classrooms. She has been known to grow monster-sized zucchinis. [from author website, 1/5/2020]

This book is great for students at a beginner level. This book showcases the life of a sunflower and how it grows over time. It is filled with beautiful illustrations that explain the science of plant life. I would introduce this book to my classroom during a science unit for younger elementary students to learn about how plant life works!
Book for primary students. This book goes through the life of a sunflower. It has some good information in it about how sunflowers grow over time. I would use this for a science class on plants for kindergarten through maybe second grade.
rhis book followed the growth cycle of a plant. It was very simple and would be such a great project-starter! This book was super easy to read and required very little language skills. It would be great for an ELL student to reference as we are learning about plants, natural sciences, etc.
We could use this book in a Kindergarten classroom for a read-aloud, and in a K-2nd grade classroom along with a science project about growing plants from seeds.
