What my clients have to say:

TGWFC-cover with spineG.png

"When I finished writing The Girl Who Found Christmas, I knew I needed a special illustrator. It was my incredible good fortune that I found Dayne Sislen. I told her that I had written about a little girl who was practically exploding with energy and joy. I wondered if Dayne could capture that in an illustration. I couldn’t picture it – I just knew what I was hoping to find. 

     Dayne surprised me and supported my dream every inch of the way. She captured everything from Belinda’s cat to her tree farm adventure and brought all of it to life. In both color (in the ebook format) and black and white (in the large, storybook format). I was a beginner and had no idea how lucky I was.

     Anyone who is writing a children’s book and looking for a truly great illustrator, look for my friend Dayne Sislen."

Barbara Escher

Author of The Girl Who Found Christmas

This book is available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble.com

Due to the limited word counts of children's books, the illustrations become equally if not more important to convey the message. Dayne was able to bring our story to life. She was not just our illustrator but our partner. She provided valuable insight and wisdom throughout the process. Dayne is a passionate illustrator and we are so grateful that we were able to work with her on our first book.

"Dayne had a vision for Shark Dentists and Other Stories from the start. She created winning characters to accompany the story and provided excellent guidance on the layout. I am glad I found Dayne, and can't imagine how this book would have come together without her."
