Elizabeth O. Dulemba was beamed to this planet with a pencil in her hand. Once she stopped chewing on it, she began to draw and write . . . You can see her work in several books, including THE PRINCE'S DIARY, named No. 1 2006 Valentines Day Pick by Book Sense in conjunction with the Association of American Publishers (AAP). She has six books forthcoming in 2008, however the one she's most excited about is "Paco and the Giant Chile Plant ~ Paco y la Planta de Chile Gigante" (written by Keith Polette, Raven Tree Press, June 2008), for which she's learning to speak Spanish so she can communicate with all of the children who will enjoy this Latino adaptation of "Jack and the Beanstalk." Along with illustrating, Elizabeth has written several short stories and articles, and her first novel (which is currently with her agent). Elizabeth enjoys talking to children of all ages, 1 to 99, about the journey of creating picture books. Visit her web site to learn more and download free coloring pages."
