"Art is a tradition that
helps define who we are and brings us a vision of who we can become. My
painting is my expression and request for a more beautiful, peaceful and
harmonious world. Wishing you an endless childhood" - Jody Bergsma
Author and illustrator,
Jody Bergsma is has earned the respect of many in the art and literary
community with her collection of children's story books at Illumination
Arts. Six in all, the three I will be reviewing today are titled The
Little Wizard, Dragon and Faerie. Her Dreamkeepers style has been deeply
inspired by her visits to Ireland and the sixth century city of
Glendalough and her Natural Elements style was inspired by visits to
Alaska, the Queen Charlotte Islands, and Washington's Olympic Peninsula.
Jody Bergsma is currently one of America's most accomplished watercolorists. Jody has a diverse painting style that has developed over many years and literally thousands of paintings. Her lyrical writing is lovely, as are her gorgeous full-color illustrations, creating lovely tales of magic and morals.

I am a huge fan of the fae ... and this book encourages my obsession. A rich and dynamic story, with art to match ... children will love this book. With Celtic-inspired illustrations and several colorful characters, Faerie can easily be read again and again ...
Faerie received the Coalition of Visionary Resources Award for Best Children’s Book and was a finalist for ForeWord Magazine’s Children’s Book of the Year Award.
The Little Wizard is a lovely tale about a young wizard who discovers his purpose and gifts. Those who love the Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter will appreciate the fantastical realm of magic and myth.
