Building character

This is one of my favorite parts from the picturebook creation process. Here is Mr. Clay posing for my pictures.

Valentine Cat is Out

The Valentine Cat book is out!

The fourth and my favorite in the Cat series so far. Congratulations to Deborah Underwood. Sequels are harder to write than original books and she's done it so right. It's also getting a star from PW: http://www.publishersweekly.com/978-0-525-42915-9

Building rhinos with kids at Filbita Montevideo

Workshop with kids at the Centro Cultural de España in Montevideo, as part of the activities of Filbita 2015. We built a rhino puzzle after reading my book La Vida Salvaje.

The BCCB review of The Tooth Fairy Cat

Cat is a delight, thoroughly and appropriately childlike in action and emotion . Rueda's sassy Cat, rendered in ink and colored pencil on white paper, is a hoot in an aqua tutu and fairy wings, as is the droopy-eared, potbellied Mouse in similar attire. Fans of the previous books will want to join Cat on this latest jaunt, [as will] those looking for a tooth fairy-themed title.” —BCCB
