...and I am the father of twelve kids, 7 of them married with kids. That leaves 5 kids still at home. My business partner is my best friend, Jan, an amazing illustrator who also happens to be my wife of 36+ years. For most of those years we made children together; now we just make children's books. Last I checked we have 18 grandchildren: sixteen in the cookie jar, two cooling on the countertop and one still in the oven.
