About the Author
Connie Colwell Miller is a writer, editor, and teacher who lives and works in Mankato, Minnesota. She studied writing at Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota, and went on to earn her Masters in Fine Arts in creative writing at Minnesota State University, Mankato, where she won an award for her poetry manuscript. She has written over 25 books for kids and published parenting essays and poetry online and in journals around the country. She spends her free time goofing around with her husband and three young, highly spirited children.
Steve originally hails from Oklahoma, and is a 2007 inductee into the Oklahoma Cartoonist Hall of Fame. He spent over a decade penciling comic books for DC Comics. Over the years, he's lent his artistic talents to a variety of other fields, ranging from t-shirt design to spot illustration to kids meal toys. He resides in north Texas where he makes a nice living as a product illustrator and designer for seasonal decorative items, occasionally dabbling in comics art and graphic novels. His wide range of experience falls in line with his personal philosophy as summed up by author Douglas Adams: I seldom end up where I wanted to go, but almost always end up where I need to be.
Review
.,."the art is engaging and bright, and the format will appeal to graphic-novel fans as well as reluctant readers searching for a simple biography."
"My students love your books. I especially like the safe graphic novels. One student, who never wanted to check out books and read, picked up The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln. He brought it back a few days later and said, "I really like this book. I learned a lot about him." I wanted to pump my arm and yell "YESSSS!" He continued to read through all the graphic histories and graphic biographies we had!!" -- Shirley Yount
