Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make contact with Jane Dyer, but I still have the opportunity to spotlight the truly wonderful snowflake she created for Robert's Snow: For Cancer's Cure entitled "Baby Snowflake". I wish I knew how to make the background of the post dark, so you could get a better view of this unique beauty. Jane Dyer's snowflake will be up for auction Nov 26th-30th.

According to Little, Brown and Company, "Jane Dyer always wanted to be a teacher...She wrote and illustrated lesson activities for teachers to accompany a new reading program being developed for Addison-Wesley. But it was Jane’s special gift for illustration that soon led to trade book work with numerous publishers."

Here are some of my favorite books she has made beautiful through her art.
