Children's Author and Illustrator, Diane Kredensor is being showcased the entire month of April at the National Writing for Children Center. Part of this showcase includes a 6-day virtual book tour. Join Suzanne Lieurance, founder and director of the National Writing for Children Center, and the virtual specialist tour hosts as they welcome Diane Kredensor for her exclusive tour that starts Wednesday, April 20.Diane Kredensor grew up in Fallston, Maryland, and started writing and illustrating when she was five or six years old. She used to make her own children's books out of construction paper, lined notebook paper, and way too much Elmer's glue. The books were a mess! Nevertheless, her mom has saved most of them, 35+ years later. Diane's favorites John, Jill, and Spot Ran Up a Hill, and Diane's Book of Things, a collection of Diane's original jokes, cartoons, observations and short stories.
Eventually, all that writing and drawing led her to a career in children's TV. After graduating from The University of Maryland at College Park with a degree in Advertising/Design, she moved to California to pursue animation. She's an Emmy Award-winning artist and has worked on such hit shows as Pinky and the Brain, Hey Arnold!, Oswald, Clifford the Big Red Dog, Stanley and WordWorld, to name a few. She recently started her own animation production company called Tricycle Films. Ollie & Moon may be their first show!
Diane makes her home in Brooklyn, NY, with her three loves—two of whom bear a passing resemblance to Ollie and Moon. She was inspired to write and illustrate Ollie & Moon, her first children's book, because of her love of friendship, her love of travel, and, of course, her love of cheese!
