kudos
To my husband, Greg Miller, who inspires me with his work and his work ethic.
View his custom furniture or his classical guitars.
Many thanks to SCBWI (Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators) for creating the connections which made possible the publication of my first picture book, Lucky Boy.
To editor Ann Rider (Houghton Mifflin Co.), for giving me the lucky nod.
To editor Reka Simonsen (formerly with Henry Holt and Company, now Houghton Mifflin Harcourt), for hooking me up with some great writers whose work I have illustrated (Christine Graham and Wendy Orr).
i so admire
David Small for his lyrical line.
Calef Brown for his laugh-out-loud humor and color.
Cythia Rylant, Kate DiCamillo and Kathi Appelt who inspire me to shoot for the moon.
Alice Munro for being the best storyteller on the planet.
