It's A Bookmark!

Lane Smith has written and illustrated a bunch of stuff, including: It’s a Book, John, Paul, George & Ben, and Madam President. His titles with National Ambassador Emeritus Jon Scieszka have included the Caldecott Honor-winner The Stinky Cheese Man, The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs, Math Curse, and Science Verse. Lane's other high profile titles include Hooray for Diffendoofer Day! by Dr. Seuss and Jack Prelutsky, The Very Persistent Gappers of Frip by George Saunders, Big Plans by Bob Shea, and James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl.

In 1996 Lane served as Conceptual Designer on the Disney film version of James and the Giant Peach. Lane also wrote and illustrated the retro, cult favorites, The Happy Hocky Family and The Happy Hocky Family Moves to the Country. Like the Hocky family, he and book designer Molly Leach live in a little town in the country.

This year, Lane lends us his talent to celebrate books and reading with the 2012 Children's Book Week bookmark and pin the TALE on the DONKEY activity page!
