Please extend a warm welcome to a fabulous artist and friend of mine, Wendy Edelson.<\/p>\n

Born 6 weeks early, Wendy Edelson spent her first couple years in New York, then moved with her parents to California, It was there in the back of the station wagon with the country speeding past the windows that she began to draw, and draw…and draw and hasn\u2019t stopped yet.<\/p>\n

She now lives on Bainbridge Island and has recently begun licensing\u00a0 her images for all sorts of products, such as puzzles, cards and banners\u00a0 and\u00a0 is currently busy with her new favorite passion, creating\u00a0 fabric collections.<\/p>\n

When did you get started illustrating for children? What did you do before?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I illustrated my first book, \u201cWhose Garden\u201d published by Harvey House in New York when I was 18, following my first trip to New York with my portfolio.<\/p>\n

Tell us a little bit about the recent book you illustrated, \u201cSaturn For My Birthday\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Saturn For My Birthday” by John McGranaghan\/Sylvan Dell, is an amusing story about a small boy who asks his father for the planet Saturn for his birthday. Using humorous situations, facts about the planet are presented.
