We need to change the font - I am not loving the way it looks. Also don't want mountain's hypenated.

On the map page is this a rough sketch or the way it's going to look?

Instead of the birds flying I would rather have a map of costa rica in the corner.

The flag looks great on this page.

Your original one looked better than this one. I like the way Sadie looked before - she was looking up at one butterfly. I don't like all the butterflies in this redo since it's too much. The trees looked better as well - I don't like all the plant life on the branches. Simple was and is better. The mountains are okay - green instead of purple - would be nice to have a little brown or something mixed in them. The flag page is fine.

Costa Rica means "Rich Coast" because it is a country filled with beautiful and colorful birds, insects, animals, reptiles, flowers, plants, trees, mountains, beaches and even volcanoes.

Costa Rica has two seasons, the dry season and the wet season.
There is no summer or winter in Costa Rica. The rainy season lasts from May to November.

looks better all around - text included! Add a little more ripple in the water to give it a little more texture. I love the flag picture along with the new text placement. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the flowers on the trees. I love the moss and vines, but the flower look strange. Anyway to remove them and have the original vegetation?

Bonnie Lee said...

I still don't like the plants on the trees. I just want the moss and vines.

Bonnie Lee said...

Love the redo - (original 5) thank you.

Add a little more water ripple by the shore - then it's perfect!

Can you make the lines on the flags sharper! And richer in color? (This is the only part of the book that I want a really sharp outline) (No fuzz ;)

Costa Ricans love their flag!

this doesn't work - the flag doesn't look correct. I don't know what to do here?

Bonnie Lee said...

Remove the flag - I need to think about how to make this work? I want the lines to be straight but still work for a Children's book. Ugh - having trouble with this page!

Bonnie Lee said...

I KNOW! can you make the flag the way you have it larger and put your seal in front of it? That will give it a child-like feel.

Have the text grouped together.

Bonnie Lee said...

I love the resizing - I will add some more text to the map page - can you change the text font. I only want the "swirly" font for the title and maybe at the end of the book. Thanks!

Country Side - move all the text to this map.

Page 5

This is the map of Costa Rica. Can you name all the colors?

Bonnie Lee said...

Looks better! What font size is the text - I believe the text is going to need to be bigger throughout the book.

Add some more movement (ripple) to the shoreline.

I live in Costa Rica

Costa Rica is small country in Central America.

It is bordered by Nicaragua to the north and Panama to the south.

The Caribbean Sea is to the east and the Pacific Ocean is to the west.

(make the map smaller, add an orchid and a soccer ball)

The map of Costa Rica has three colors. Can you name all the colors?

The national flower of Costa Rica is an orchid. What's your favorite flower?


Futbol, or soccer, is the most popular sport in Costa Rica. What sport do you like to play?
