About Karin
I write rhythmic picture books, children’s poetry, and nonfiction and am the author of four folk tale adaptations written in a limited vocabulary for a reading program.

Karin. I'm new here. I'm trying out the childrens book illustration. I've been drawing disney-style characters since I was 8. Let me know if you could do something with my style of illustration. Or if you know someone that fits my style.
-Thanks. :)

I just looked over at that column to the left and saw it says "Has worked with: Aesop." That made me laugh. So just for full disclosure--I have not met Aesop personally, but I have sweated through extracting the core of his stories with one syllable words. You could say I have spent some intense min... more

Thanks, Eric.
I'm Karin-with-an-i. I don't know if people pronounce it "Karen" in their heads (which is correct) and then translate to their fingers, or the fingers automatically type the more familiar letters, but I've been surprised how often people type "Karen" though they've only see... more
