Gail Gibbons
Gail Gibbons is a children’s book author and illustrator. She was born on August 1st, 1944 in Oak Park, Illinois. When she grew up, she worked as a graphic artist. Then she became an author. Her first book was Willy and his Wheel Wagon. It was written in 1975. Gail has two children named Eric and Becky. Eric’s favorite tree is an apple tree. So, Gail wrote a book for him called The Seasons of Arnolds Apple Tree.
Gail loves learning, that’s why she writes non-fiction books. She also uses bright colors, and simple titles. She usually writes about animals. Gail has written over 100 children’s books, and she has won six awards. She lives in a solar powered house!
Gail Gibbons has written so many books that I can’t even count them all! When Gail was younger, she liked to walk away from a book feeling like she learned something.
