Born in Racine, WI in 1960, this author/illustrator was part of a family with five kids who went to the library every week. He wrote his first picture book in high school. His characters were mostly mice, with names like Owen, Lilly, Sheila Rae and Chrysanthemum, but he won a Caldecott for his book about a kitten. This is Kevin Henkes, and his Caldecott winner is Kitten's First Full Moon.
