Kevin Henkes became an author-illustrator when he was nineteen years old, working on a card table in his bedroom. Today he's the author of many award-winning picture books and novels—including his brand-new novel, BIRD LAKE MOON, which you see pictured here. "I wondered about authors and illustrators when I was growing up," says Kevin. "What did they look like? Where did they live? Did they have families? How old were they?—but I never imagined that one day I would be one myself." At this website you can find out all about Kevin, about BIRD LAKE MOON and his other novels, and about his many picture books for younger readers, including Lilly—and her purple plastic purse!
