November 15, 2012 Book Talks No Comments

A visit with nature author/illustrator Jim Arnosky and his wife, Deanna:

Jim Arnosky’s nature illustrations first appeared in magazines when he was only 19. By the age of 26, he had illustrated his first children’s book. “I’ve never made any money doing anything else,” he says. Forty-two years, 125 books, and millions of copies later, Arnosky still writes and draws for children, refusing all work that interferes with his daily nature study. Together, he and his wife Deanna will pack up and leave their Vermont farm at a moment’s notice if they observe a specific weather pattern in Florida. “All the alligators, crocodiles, and snakes are moving,” he says. Arnosky and Deanna live their lives in tune with the rhythms and patterns of nature. [Read the rest of my profile with Jim Arnosky.]
