Natalie Briscoe is a veteran illustrator, creating wonderful kid-friendly characters, designs, and concepts. Her latest book, A Thank You Letter to My Teacher, showcases the top tier quality you can expect from Natalie’s digital and real-world paintbrushes.
From publisher Sourcebooks:
In this heartwarming picture book, children thank their teachers for laugh-out-loud days and trail-blazing subjects. They’re thankful for teachers who point out the possibilities, celebrate differences, pay attention to the details, and go above and beyond.
A Thank You Letter to My Teacher celebrates a wide variety of teaching styles and school experiences from a group of diverse children. A celebration of those who help kids learn, it’s the perfect book for every teacher at the start of the year, end of the year, or anytime in between!
Teaming up with seasoned author Deb Adamson, Natalie shows what pure joy can look like in a world that really needs it! Any teacher or parent is sure to love the charming illustrations paired with Adamson’s prose.

You can join Natalie for an in-person author signing event on April 18th at 11am at The Getalong located at 700A Fatherland St. right here in Nashville. In addition to a book signing, there will also be fun activities for kids to enjoy.
Natalie also describes the process behind creating the book’s cover over on her Substack blog here. All of the versions looked great so we’re betting it was challenging for the designers and editors at Sourcebooks to choose their favorite!
You can order your copy of A Thank You Letter to My Teacher on Amazon in both hardcover and eBook formats. Be sure to check out Natalie’s portfolio site to learn more about her work.
