About the Author
June Sobel loves picture books for the way they awaken the wonder of words in children and keep the child alive in adults. After a career as an illustrator and graphic designer, June wrote her first book B IS FOR BULLDOZER when she couldn't find an ABC book on construction for her bulldozer obsessed three year old. Her rollicking SHIVER ME LETTERS - A Pirate ABC and the soothing bedtime verse of the best-selling THE GOODNIGHT TRAIN are story time and bedtime favorites. THE GOODNIGHT TRAIN ROLLS ON and SANTA AND THE GOODNIGHT TRAIN continue the adventures of the beloved train. TOW TRUCK JOE is the first in a series of picture books about a helpful, problem solving tow truck. A graduate of Skidmore College and Stanford University, June lives in Westlake Village, California and continues to enjoy the challenge of creating pictures with words and writing for those very young pre-readers.
