LAURA WATSON vit à Toronto, en Ontario, dans une petite maison centenaire avec son mari, sa flle ainsi que Red, son molosse au pelage rouge feu. Elle a passé son enfance à dessiner, à peindre et à bricoler, ce qui l’a amenée à étudier les beaux-arts et l’illustration. Depuis, on retrouve les illustrations ludiques et amusantes de Laura dans des livres et des magazines pour enfants, des applications de boutiques et de restaurants, ainsi que sur des jouets et des casse-têtes pour enfants.

LAURA WATSON grew up in Peterborough, Ontario, and spent her childhood drawing, painting and making crafts. Now she creates lighthearted and whimsical illustrations for children’s books, magazines, toys, puzzles and more. She enjoys the outdoors, runs often and spends as much time as possible at the beach hunting for sea glass. Laura lives and works in Toronto, Ontario, with her husband and daughter and a big orange dog named Red.

Heather Gould is an entrepreneur, artist and voice actor from Victoria, British Columbia.

Editorial Reviews

"Beautifully drawn and celebrity written, with award winning poet Lorna Crozier...provid[ing] simple but rhyming text in support of Laura Watson’s illustrations. And the book is a winner, of course: who can resist baby animals? (Not me!)...Sure to delight."

— January Magazine

"An adorable introduction to a wide variety of animal babies and where they live...This book is sure to delight babies and toddlers as they recognize beloved animals and are exposed to new favourites. This is the perfect story to be read and reread as you travel around the world seeing the smallest examples of all the species and always ending with a warm message of love for the baby right in front of you. As if the simple, rhyming couplets in the text weren't cute enough, Laura Watson's big, bright, and colourful illustrations will melt readers' hearts...Board books are one of the first introductions a child has to books, and So Many Babies does the job of offering page after page of visually stimulating images. It's a book worth holding and contemplating (and chewing) for hours...Highly Recommended."

— CM Magazine

"This story will make babies and toddlers feel loved.. As they are being read to, they learn where baby animals live...Could be read to a boy or a girl as the gender of the baby is obscured...A good choice for a bedtime story."
