If you want to know about boats, trust a sea dog to set you on course. Award-winning children's book author and illustrator Astrid Sheckles has created a whole raft of sea dogs to help young readers begin their ABCs and their nautical explorations. Filled with boats (and sea dogs) from all over the world and told in whimsical rhyme, children will discover vessels from air boats to rafts and coracles to schooners.
Astrid Sheckles spent her childhood playing outside, using her imagination, and drawing. Her Scandinavian roots are evident in her artwork, which she describes as a "mix of classic realism and whimsy." She studied Fine Art at Greenfield Community College and works as a full-time artist. She is a member of the Western Massachusetts Illustrators Guild and The Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. Astrid is the author/illustrator of Hector Fox and the Giant Quest and the award-winning Nic and Nellie. She is also the illustrator, of The Scallop Christmas, The Fish House Door, and Hope Somewhere in America. She lives in Greenfield, Massachusetts.
