Lisa Thiesing Illustrator Portfolio Childrens Books - Published Books

Book List

I've been privileged to have published over 40 books as author and/or illustrator in my career.

Here are a few of my favorites:

...adorable illustrations...simple backgrounds with just enough detail to...keep the focus on the friends...who clearly care about one another...through thick and thin.
- Kirkus

This charming book provides readers with example after example of what makes someone a good friend...Thiesing's art has strong child appeal and reinforces the happiness friendship brings.
- SLJ

Few beginning readers are as good as this one to promote reading with expression. This book is absolutely delightful.

Booklist "Top 10 Mysteries for Youth"

A Miami Herald Best Book of the Year

...a two generation photo album that a young mother is sharing with her daughter while she compares her child's life with her own experiences as a girl. There is great charm in the photographic-style watercolor illustrations...They capture perfectly the differences these 30 years have made...and other enduring witnesses to the overwhelming love parents feel for their children.
