Sisters Janet Lord and Julie Paschkis grew up near Philadelphia, PA. Their parents encouraged them to make things, to read, to draw and to play outside. Now they live on opposite sides of the country. This is their third book created together at Peachtree.
Julie Paschkis is an award-winning illustrator of more than 25 books for children. A graduate of Cornell University and the School for American Craftsmen at RIT, she taught art to grade school children for a number of years before turning her full attention to painting, textile design, and creating illustrations for her books.
