This person isn't an illustrator but she's a fantastic presenter. She visited my K-5 school and did presentations to all grades. Her name is Jane Kurtz and she has written a number of picture books as well as 2 novels. I worked with her extensively online for a couple of years before we finally got to meet. She lives in North Dakota but grew up in Ethiopia, the daughter of missionaries, so she has a most interesting background. I highly recommend her. She has a web site at: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/5232/index.html As long as I am recommending her, I'd like to mention a new book that she and Toni Buzzeo (a LMS from Maine) have just published. It is called Terrific Connections with Authors, Illustrators and Storytellers. The table of contents, introduction, and first chapter are posted at the Maine Association of School Libraries website at: http://www.maslibraries.org/authill/tc_toc.html This book is an incredible guide on how to connect with authors, illustrators and storytellers using email, school visits, cyberspace chats, and snail mail. Ideas are given for how to choose the best person for your needs and for how to make the most of your connection with that person. It is geared for bookpeople who appeal to grades K-5. If you are interested, Toni welcomes email at buzzeocyll@mix-net.net Hope this is of some help.
