Michael P. Kline

An illustrative contributor to Kids Discover magazine for more than 20 years, Michael Kline also lists such companies as Penguin Publishing, Family Fun magazine, Storey Publishing, and Ideals Publishing among those who receive his hand-addressed invoices. He is the author/illustrator of WordPlay Café, a phonetic romp for the knee-high generation, and recently released his first attempt at left-handed imagery in The Doodles of Sam Dibble (Penguin Young Readers; Grosset and Dunlap). He crafts his illuminations from his modest and nearly-paid-for home in Wichita, KS. (dogfoose.com)
