About the Author, Beryl Reichenberg

I have been an artist for many years living in California. In the past nine years, I have been writing and illustrating children's stories for young children up to age eight. Since then, I have written over 35 titles, illustrating them with my drawings and photographs, depending on the story line. Some illustrations were prepared by artists Gini Griffin and Babette Girard and a ten year old, Elise Hudson.

Some of these stories are in prose and some in verse; some are fiction and others nonfiction. Six were published by a traditional publisher, Oak Tree Press. These books include Clowning Around, Ants on a Log, Camouflage and The Mysterious Case of the Missing Birthday Cake, When Caterpillars Dream and Butterfly Girls. All of my books are available from Amazon.com. I have also published several other picture books books including. Backyard Birds, Squiggles, Hopping to the Moon, A Real Dragon, I'm a City Bear, Meerkats in Danger, Dancing with Leaves and Lost in a Dark Forest. I have used a number of formats including, a short play (Dragon's Play), a diary (I'm a City Bear) and a letter to the main character (Escape of a Curious Kitten).

I have a Master's Degree from UCLA and taught school in the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles. Currently, I am retired, devoting full time to writing and art. I hope you enjoy my books as much as I enjoy creating them and will join me on my website at www.berylreichenberg.com.

I am also an artist, creating sculptural pieces out of paper and mixed media including handmade books, paper and silk basket forms as well as more traditional fiber pieces and photographs. Some of these pieces may be viewed on my other website: www.berylreichenbergart.com.
