After taking exciting trips that involved a fifty-foot cactus, hungry alligators and sunset-colored spoonbills, she wanted to create books for children that would be like a field trip. Her books are full of well-researched detail, and Brenda sees this research as an adventure--one that allows her to be a jungle explorer at last. She lives in Seattle, Washington.Berenzy, Alix: - Alix Berenzy is the author and illustrator of two adapted fairy tales, A Frog Prince and Rapunzel.
