David Small

Sarah Stewart and David Small have combined their talents in creating two previous picture books: The Money Tree and The Library. . . . Mr. Small spends much of his time in his studio making pictures, many of which are for children's books he has written himself, such as Imogene's Antlers, Paper John, George Washington's Cows, and Fenwick's Suit. Ms. Stewart and Mr. Small are married and live in a historic house in Michigan.
