Kevin Henkes lives in Madison, Wisconsin. His novels include
Protecting Marie and Words of Stone. Among his picture books are
Owen, a 1994 Caldecott Honor Book; Lilly''s Purple Plastic Purse;
and Julius, the Baby of the World.In His Own Words...
"I remember drawing at a very early age. I loved it. And my
parents and teachers told me I was good at it -- that made me love
it all the more."
"I also loved books, and the ones I was lucky enough to own were
reread, looked at over and over, and regarded with great respect.
To me great respect'' meant that I took them everywhere, and the
ones I still own prove it. They''re brimming with all the telltale
signs of true love: dog-eared pages, fingerprints on my favorite
illustrations, my name and address inscribed on both front and back
covers in inch-high crayon lettering, and the faint smell of stale
peanut butter on the bindings."
"I wondered about authors and illustrators back then -- 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."
"I became an author-illustrator when I was nineteen years old. I
flew from my home in Racine, Wisconsin, to New York City with my
portfolio, hoping to find a publisher. And magically enough Susan
Hirschman at Greenwillow Books made my dream come true. My first
picture book, All Alone, was published in 1987. Since then I''ve
written and illustrated many picture books and written several
novels. I like the variety of trying new ways to fill the pages
between two covers. Experimenting with words and paint and ink
keeps my job interesting."
"I used to live with my parents and brothers and sister and work
at a card table in my bedroom. Now I live with my wife, my son, and
my daughter in our own house and work at a drawing table in my own
studio. I never thought I''d be lucky enough to be a real author and
illustrator. I wouldn''t trade it for anything."
