Brief description: Wendy Edelson (Saturn for my Birthday) illustrated the first of many books, "Whose Garden" at the age of 18. Since then she has divided her time between illustrating children's books and "grown-up" books, and working on advertising and editorial projects. All of Wendy's illustrations begin with very detailed pencils drawings and are then painted mostly with watercolor with the addition of occasional bits of colored pencil and pastelâ ]the painting is definitely her favorite part! Wendy, her husband, and 4 cats currently live on an island in the Pacific Northwest. A corgi puppy will hopefully be joining the family soon! Visit Wendy's website: http: //www.wendyedelson.com/
