In my travels, I meet a lot of interesting people.  Here are some authors and illustrators I've met that I really like.

Brain Biggs  

I met Brian at Storybook Weekend in Philadelphia.  He is an author and illustrator with a fun series of books called Tinyville Town.  The kids loved it.  I was impressed with the range of his work.  His illustrations on Noisy Night are nothing short of elegant.
