About the Author
Theresa Smythe, (born 1961) has a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and started making children's books in 1997 when she left the animation field after sixteen years of dedicated service. Her animation career consisted of animating on numerous feature films, commercials and coincidentally, many half-hour animated specials based on classic children's books for PBS and HBO. She now works as both illustrator and author and has illustrated two other children's books besides her own titles, SNOWBEAR'S CHRISTMAS COUNTDOWN and CHESTER'S COLORFUL EASTER EGGS.
Theresa's illustration technique combines a love of paper, glue, scissors and a vivid imagination in order to render her cut-paper collages. She also has a special place in her heart for bears, and likes to sew heirloom teddies out of mohair as well as collecting vintage holiday decorations. She enjoys soaking up the sun with her son in the City of Angels ~ also known as Los Angeles, CA.
