Growing up as an "Army Brat," this Black author/illustrator was always the new kid at school and made friends by drawing pictures for her classmates. Her own books, Jimmy Lee Dit It in 1985 and C.L.O.U.D.S. in 1986, deal with imagination and fantasy, but she also illustrated books with more difficult themes, such as Chilly Stomach in 1986, about child molestation, and Willie's Not the Hugging Kind in 1989. Her own books, Clean Your Room, Harvey Moon (1991) and Harvey Moon, Museum Boy (2008) feature a young Black character. She was born in 1950 and is still writing and illustrating today. This is Pat Cummings.
