Laurie Keller
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Laurie Keller is an American children's book author and illustrator. She has authored four books for Henry Holt and Co., and produced illustrations for two others.
Keller grew up in Muskegon, Michigan. After graduating high school, she took education classes at a local community college and studied dance until a friend brought her to see a show at the Kendall College of Art and Design, which re-sparked her interest, causing her to enroll and receive a degree from the college in illustration.
Following graduation, Keller worked for seven years for Hallmark Cards as a greeting card artist. While there, she was allowed to design entire cards, which caused her to consider writing and illustrating books.
Keller has written and illustrated four books for Henry Holt: The Scrambled States of America, an acclaimed geography book, Open Wide: Tooth School Inside, a dental book about tooth care, Arnie the Doughnut, about an anthropomorphic doughnut, and Grandpa Gazillion's Number Yard, a number book.
