Michele Katz (Grieder), otherwise known as "Mit" started "making books" by stapling pieces of paper together and drawing on them for her little brother at the ripe old age of seven. By the time she was in middle school, she had decided on Syracuse University for her BFA in illustration. (Fortunately the school approved of her choice!) Since then, Michele has been making whimsical art designed to make people of all ages smile, because let's face it - - there is enough serious stuff in the world! Her work has appeared in numerous magazines and on a wide variety of products, ranging from coffee mugs to yoga mats. In addition to the 10 children's and coloring books she has illustrated, she also designs greeting cards. Michele is a proud member of SCBWI and resides in Connecticut with her husband, pet turtle and hamster.
