Illustrator: Kevin Henkes

Kevin Henkes is an author-illustrator who has written about characters such as Lilly, Chester, and Chrysanthemum in his mouse books series.  He has written and illustrated picture books such as Little White Rabbit, Kitten’s First Full Moon and My Garden.  Kevin is the author of a number of novels including Olive’s Ocean and Bird Lake Moon.  He became an author-illustrator at the age of nineteen.  Kevin said that he loved drawing from an early age and that his parents and teachers told him he was good at it…that made him love drawing even more.  I look forward to learning more interesting facts about Kevin Henkes as I complete the illustrator project.
