The Creatives Behind the Book
MARJORIE BLAIN PARKER has written many picture books, including I Love You Near and Far, Psst! I Love You (both Sterling), When Dads Don’t Grow Up (Dial Books for Young Readers), Hello, School Bus! (Scholastic), and Mama’s Little Duckling (Dutton Children’s Books), which School Library Journal called “a standout.” She lives in Denver, CO.
Ever since Mike can remember he knew he wanted to be an artist. His dad, who was an engineer at the Hiway Department, would bring home reams of paper that had hiway plans on one side and were blank on the other. He would be so excited to have all that paper to draw on and would fill each sheet with race cars, snowmobiles, baseball players, super heroes - everything he was interested in. In high school his art teacher, Mr. Chase, encouraged Mike to pursue art as a career. This, along with a scholarship, led him to the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, Georgia. Since graduating with a B.F.A. in Illustration, Mike has illustrated over 20 books for children. He has worked with various clients including Random House, Dutton Children’s Books, Clarion Books, Holiday House, Scholastic Books, Bloomsbury Publishing, Walker & Co., Hyperion Books, Sterling Books, Cricket Magazine Group, General Mills, 3M, and Peaceable Kingdom Press.
