About The Author
Bill Farnsworth is a nationally known illustrator, painter, and educator of art. Bill’s work as an illustrator is so widely known because he has illustrated more than seventy-five books for children, many of which have won awards as well as starred reviews in Publishers Weekly. His paintings and illustrations are recognizable for their beautiful colors, careful attention to various types of light, detailed rendering, and often for their outdoor themes and settings.
