i thought this book was going to be good, but i didn't know it would be this good. each well-known childrens' book writer/illustrator writes about their lives, influences and inspirations. included are ealry photos, first drawings and a full page self-portrait. so thoughtfully put together. a beautiful book to browse through and inspire you and your children to pick up a tool and draw, paint and create.
