- I was born in Detroit, Michigan, one of seven. My first grade teacher tacked a drawing of mine, Horse with Feedbag up on the bulletin board. From there I went on to study art at Wayne State University, graduating in 1975 with a BFA in printmaking. I had my fair share of rejections at the start, but through perseverance my first picture book, EEK! There’s a Mouse in the House was published by Houghton Mifflin in 1992. My latest early reader, Mouse and Mole Fine Feathered Friends received a 2010 Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor Award.

Just found your blog after another night reading "Mrs. Brown went to Town" with my 5 yr old daughter.
My son is now 17 and his favorite book was "Fireman Small".
Your books have such humor and heart. thank you!
Congrats on the award! I'm a fan of your work, and was glad to see you received some industry recognition - you deserve it.
I just read Upstairs Mouse, Downstairs Mole - nice work.
