About the Authors

MaryAnn Faubion Kohl is the award-winning author of over twenty art books for children, including Discovering Great Artists, Mudworks, Preschool Art and First Art. She is a national presenter, educator, consultant, and publisher. MaryAnn s focus on creativity is driven by her passion for children’s process art experiences and explorations. MaryAnn enjoys playing outside rain or shine, reading, writing, friends, and most of all, her family. MaryAnn resides in Bellingham, Washington.

Barbara Zaborowski once wished her own children’s preschool years would never end, so she began teaching preschool in 1987. Now she has the best of both worlds: two grown children, a new granddaughter, and wonderful years of working with 4 and 5 year olds. Process art has become an important part of her curriculum. She also enjoys friends, reading, the theater, great conversations, and treasure hunts. Despite her best efforts at avoiding extra work, she seems to have become a writer. This is her first book. Barbara lives and works in Phoenix, Arizona.
