About the Author / Illustrator

Peter Yarrow's career has spanned more than four decades. As a member of the renowned trio, Peter, Paul, & Mary, he has earned many gold and platinum awards and numerous Grammys, as well as an Emmy nomination for his animated TV specials based on Puff, the Magic Dragon. Among the many honors bestowed upon him, Yarrow is most proud of the Allard K. Lowenstein Award, which he received in 1982 for advancing the causes of human rights, peace, and freedom. Today, he frequently uses his musical and other artistic gifts to convey a message of humanity and caring. In an effort to combat school violence, Yarrow started Operation Respect in 2000, a program that teaches tolerance and respect to children in schools and camps. Lenny Lipton is the inventor of the modern 3D projection system used in cinemas worldwide. He is the author of four books on motion picture technology and received an award from the Smithsonian for his invention.

Terry Widener is a native of Tulsa, Oklahoma. He became a graphics designer after receiving a fine arts degree from the University of Tulsa. It would be 14 years later when he illustrated a children's book. Terry says, "When I illustrate, my hope is to create a beautiful book. My part of the book is to make the author's words come alive visually. My aim is to show the emotions and events that authors write about in their stories."

Widener and his wife, an art director, live in McKinney, Texas.
