Gail Gibbons is an author and illustrator. As a child growing up in Chicago, Gail created her first picture book at the age of four. It was four pages long and bound together with yarn. Soon thereafter, she began taking art lessons and started writing her own stories. Gail studied graphic design at the University of Illinois and after graduating she went to work for a small TV station doing graphic work. Later, she moved to New York City where she worked on ‘ Take a Giant Step’ a children’s show that was the forerunner to ‘The Electric Company.’ The children who participated in the show suggested that Gail should create children’s books. Gibbons currently divides her time between a landlocked house in Vermont and a house surrounded by sea off the coast of Maine.
