Contributor Bio(s): Newbold, Amy: - AMY NEWBOLD conceived IF PICASSO PAINTED A SNOWMAN book while visiting the Musée Picasso in Paris. If she were to draw a snowman, she would probably start with three white circles stacked one upon another...or maybe just two. Now she's back with IF DA VINCI PAINTED A DINOSAUR and IF MONET PAINTED A MONSTER.Newbold, Greg: - Award-winning illustrator GREG NEWBOLD grew up drawing superheroes and Dr. Seuss characters on giant rolls of newsprint in his childhood basement. He once copied a Vincent van Gogh painting for his college art history class instead of writing a paper. Greg has created work for clients such as Kleenex, Fedex, Heinz, Smucker's, and American Express as well as illustrating a dozen books for children, including If Da Vinci Painted a Dinosaur, If Picasso Painted a Snowman, The Barnyard Night Before Christmas, The Touch of the Master's Hand, Winter Lullaby, and Spring Song. Greg lives in Salt Lake City with his wife, Amy. |
