Today it is my pleasure to review a beautiful new picture book The Glint of Gold, written by Kate McGann, illustrated by Patricia Ward and published by Little Pink Dog Books. This post is part of a Books on Tour promotion.

About illustrator Patricia Ward
Being an only child, Patricia spent much of her time living in her imagination, bringing it to life through drawing and illustration. She loves exploring colour and playing with positive and negative spaces. Her work is vibrant and whimsical, with an underlying sense of a narrative. Patricia believes every illustration should tell a story whether it is accompanied by text or not.

About The Glint of Gold
A picture book for ages 4 – 7 years

It is a beautiful book, Patricia.

Thank you for sharing your eloquent review of this wonderful book! The illustrations and the story of seeing glints of gold are golden. lol
I’ll check it out with my kids. We are huge nature lovers and the idea of “glint of gold” not only in nature but thinking of it metaphorically is charming.
