About the artist:
"I have loved drawing since I was very young. My favorite memories as a child are of painting on bumpy paper with watercolors or sitting on a sunny rock by the woods, pad and pastels in my lap. I used to climb a tree house at the edge of a nearby field to write poems and later, illustrate them. Given a box of crayons I would color my way into a world of my own. There is nothing quite like the smell of a fresh, new box of crayons - one hundred and twenty waxy-smelling, pointy colors.
"I've been making pictures all my life. I went to college to learn all I could about art at Swain School of Design in New Bedford, Massachusetts, The University of Florida, and The University of Vermont. I first became interested in children's illustration twenty years ago when my children were young, and I was reading lots of picture books to them. Ladybug Magazine published my first illustrated story in 1996. One Monday, my first picture book, was published by Orchard Books (Scholastic Inc.) in 2001".
