About the Author

Anderson Atlas lives in the hot Sonoran Desert among scaled survivors, steely eye hawks and majestic saguaros. He finds inspiration in Crowded malls, streams that barely trickle, patches of moss, charred forests, and distant mountain ranges. Sharing his art means letting his ideas flow through his fingers onto the keyboard or paint brush. To date, Anderson has written 4 books and illustrated a handful more, and he's only begun to speak.
