Kids often ask me if I know other authors. Well, here are a few, along with some illustrators. All have been clients of my great agent, Barbara Kouts, there on the far left. The woman in the center is illustrator Yoriko Ito. In front, left to right, are author Alan Schroeder, author/illustrator Marissa Moss (of the Amelia books), author Robert D. San Souci, and author/illustrator Daniel San Souci (who illustrated my book The Gifts of Wali Dad). That’s me in the far back with the shiny glasses. At Marissa’s home in Berkeley, California, 1995.
