Today (1/31) is Denise Fleming‘s birthday.
Ms. Fleming is a children’s book creator who is (like me) from northwest Ohio. She writes and illustrates her works, and those books have won a number of awards.
Her works show a clear love of animals, nature in general, and bright colors. If you’d like to see how she creates her illustrations, you might check out “Denise Fleming demonstrates her paper pulp illustrations” on YouTube.
