About the Author:

Nancy Tafuri has been illustrating books for children since the late 1970s. Whether providing pictures for other authors, such as Charlotte Pomerantz and Mirra Ginsburg, or creating her own works, she is praised by critics for her simple yet imaginative art. If I Had a Paka: Poems in Eleven Languages, which Tafuri illustrated for Pomerantz, was selected as a Jane Addams honor book; Tafuri’s own Have You Seen My Duckling? was a Caldecott Honor Book.

She left two years later and married Thomas Tafuri, a fellow student at the School of Visual Arts....
