While searching for children's authors I came across these three that I thought are worth looking into:
Tomie DePaola has been recognized with the Caldecott Honor Award, the Newberry Honor Award and the New Hampshire Governor's Arts Award of Living Treasure. He has written and or illustrated over two hundred books. I particularly like Strega Nona, maybe its my Italian decent. :) You can read more about Tomie at http://www.tomie.com/
Katherine Paterson is an author of novels, picture story books, I can read and chapter books, Non-fiction and essays, Christmas short stories and re-tellings. Her earlier work is reflective of her passion for Japan. This can be seen in, Sign of the Chrysanthemum and The Master Puppeteer among others. Her works consist of different, some have christian emphasis and she has a long list of awards and recognitions. www.terabithia.com
Avi is an award winning author despite having dysgraphia. When he visits schools he asks to speak to the learning disabled children and shows them his manuscripts with all the corrections in red. An inspiration. Writing everything from historical to picture books. He's been able to attract even the reluctant reader. www.avi-writer.com
