About Author

Aaron Becker began drawing picture books at the age of eight. After many years of practice, he published his first wordless picture book, Journey, which was named a Caldecott Honor Book. He is now on a quest to share his books with as many young readers as possible. €œThere is nothing more gratifying than seeing kids hold one of my books close to their heart,€ he says. €œMy hope is that these stories might inspire us all to place a bit more faith in the power of wonder.€ Aaron Becker lives in the USA in Massachusetts, with his wife and daughter.
