These greeting cards led her to children's book publishing after meeting an art director at a trade show. Her first book GREETINGS FROM KIWI AND PEAR was published in 2009.

Calming, sleepy expressions are paired with goodnight farewells to six farm animals. After you say goodnight, open the flap to reveal the animal sleeping in a bed paired with the animal's sound. Kind of a bummer that the lift-the-flap wasn't a bedsheet to cover them up but Joyce Wan's illustrations are always bold and perfect for little eyes--and virtual storytimes.

{My thoughts} – This is a sweet little board book about farm animals getting ready to go to sleep. The cover is sparkly and eye appealing. The illustrations within the pages go hand and hand with the text upon each of the pages. On the left side you read a poetry like line and on the right side you lift a flap to see what the animal says before going to bed.

I always enjoy books by Ms. Wan. She has a unique style with both her text and her illustrations. These are definitely books that will be well loved for generations to come!

This is actually a pull down the flap, as one pulls down to see the flap to reveal the appropriately illustrated blanket for each animal that is sleeping, for example the frog sleeps under a blanket witha lily pad pattern.

A lift the flap book about animals who go to sleep on the farm. The illustrations are cute, and the flaps reveal the noise each animal makes. M likes it.

3 1/2-4. There are a few slant rhymes, but overall the pictures are cute, the flaps are easy to pull, and my granddaughter loves making the animal sounds.
