About the Artist

• Bill Basso

  I've been an illustrator/cartoonist specializing in children's publishing for over 25 years. My work has been published by: Random House Hyperion Harcourt Grosset & Dunlap Boy Scouts of America HarperCollins Macmillan McGraw-Hill. Atheneum Scholastic Scholastic Teaching Resources Cartwheel Highlights For Children Pearson Weekly Reader Children's TV Workshop and Bantam Doubleday Dell. Prior to that my illustrations and cartoons appeared in advertising magazines; including the NY Times Esquire Smithsonian Premiere and last but not least Bananas. During this period I also designed and illustrated packaging for Colorforms Toys and Avon children's products. I am now a grandparent of three little guys who provide a wonderful source of material inspiration and three new clients to entertain. SCBWI member.
