Alaskan who's learned to thrive --well, survive--at 40 degrees below zero. I play hockey in winter, garden in summer, and read picture books year-round.

One of my favorite things about the picture book community is the way established authors support up-and-coming creators. Congratulations, Lynn...and thank you, Pat.
