David Milgrim celebrates his birthday on September 12th. A former graphic designer, Milgrim grew up in LA, and now lives and creates in Petaluna. He has created over a dozen books including a "Ready to Read" series for Atheneum featuring a robot named Otto. His latest picture book, published in August of this year, is Thank You, Thanksgiving. With spare repetitive text and colorful contemporary illustrations, he tells the story of a little girl who goes on a last-minute errand for her mother. Along the way, she thanks all the familiar things she loves—her warm boots, the pretty clouds, the song of the birds. View more of his books at www.davidmilgrim.com.
