J is for Joost Elffers


And who or what is Joost Elffers you may ask. Joost Elffers is co-author with Saxton Freymann of series of picture books that are illustrated entirely with photographs of fruits and vegetables. They are very clever and imaginative with great pictures.

Joost was born and raised in the Netherlands and later moved to the US. He was a book packager who put together books getting them ready to publish. He worked on several notable books including Tangrams, Secrect Language of Birthdays, and The Power of 48 as well as the food books.

If you haven't seen one of these books before, I recommend you check your local library to find one. They are definitely worth a look.
