Meet author Diana Harley and her springtime picture books

Today it is my pleasure to introduce you to Diana Harley as we discuss her three beautiful picture books that are perfect for sharing at springtime, or any time.

Here at readilearn, we have quite a fascination with minibeasts, especially butterflies, and have quite a variety of teaching resources that focus on them. Naturally, we are attracted to other resources which encourage children’s interest in minibeasts and the environment.

        You’re welcome, Norah. It’s not easy to find an illustrator. Two have failed me. The last one couldn’t deliver anything in three months. I’m working with the third one. Fingers crossed.

    I have to imagine that kids are going to love Diana’s books. Most children are fascinated by insects, especially butterflies.

    Oh Diana is such a talented artist and as I read that she is “writer, author, poet and playwright” and saw that feature photo of her with her smile – and then the colorful images from her books – well people like Diana bring so much color to the world. Enjoyed learning more about this inspiring woman.
