"If you give an author a pencil, he or she may just write an autobiographical series like this one!  The books feature popular and award-winning writers who share their lives and model the writing process."

                        --Learning Magazine Spring 2006

... instead of showing them the tiny picture of the author on the book  jacket, you can hand the kids one of these treasures and say 'Want to meet the author?'
                   --Teaching K-8

Entertaining and informal, this series is the next best thing to meeting a live author.
                  --The Bulletin of the Center for
                          Children's Books

These autobiographical accounts read like conversations with familiar friends. The authors' words draw readers into their lives, and the 
excellent full-color photographs of home, working environment, and family help children participate in their worlds.
                  --School Library Journal

These are attractively formatted picture book autobiographies, liberally sprinkled with full-color photographs and ideally suited to those younger students who are curious about their favorite authors.
