“I have been making up stories and drawing pictures for as long as I can remember. At the age of eight, I converted Dorothy, Toto and Brenda Starr into Catholic wimple-wearing nuns at the convent of St. Oz. The story usually took an emotional turn when the group gave up their religious vows for a chance to party at the Eisenhower White House; and I can assure you that their gowns were just fabulous.” Judy Schachner is the #1 NY Times Best Selling Author/Illustrator of over 18 books for children including the Skippyjon Jones series, Yo Vikings, The Grannyman and Willy and May. She has won many awards including the first E. B. White Read Aloud Award.
