Biografisk notat

Sandra Boynton is a popular American cartoonist, children's author, songwriter, producer, and director-and a bestselling Workman author for over 30 years. Since 1974, Boynton has written and illustrated over fifty children's books and seven general audience books, including five New York Times bestsellers. More than 60 million of her books have been sold-"mostly to friends and family," she says. She has also written (with Michael Ford) and produced five albums of renegade children's music. Three of her five albums have been certified Gold, and Philadelphia Chickens, nominated for a Grammy, is nearing Platinum. Frog Trouble, her latest book and CD, was an instant New York Times bestseller. Boynton has also directed a number of music videos of her songs, including the award-winning "One Shoe Blues" starring BB King. She lives in rural New England, and her studio is in a barn with perhaps the only hippopotamus weathervane in America
