Wendy Pfeffer is the author of many science-oriented children's
books, including From Tadpole to Frog and A Log's Life, which won
the Giverny Award for Best Children's Science Picture Book. An
early-childhood specialist, she enjoys visiting schools and
teaching creative writing to children. She lives with her husband,
Tom, in New Jersey, where the change of seasons allows them to sail
and swim in summer, then cross-country ski after the winter
solstice welcomes winter each year.
Linda Bleck grew up in a family of nine children in northern
Illionois, and their Thanksgiving feasts were celebrated at a table
her father made from a large door. Today, Ms. Bleck is making
memories with her own children in Wisconsin, where the fall's
brilliant colors of changing leaves and crisp blue skies, as well
as visits to local fruit and pumpkin farms, provide her with the
inspiration to create her vivid illustrations. She is the author
and illustrator of Pepper Goes to School and the illustrator of a
series of children's treasuries of nursery rhymes, songs,
lullabies, and prayers. Ms. Bleck has a degree in graphic design
from the University of Illionis, Urbana-Champaign. She lives in
Wisconsin with her husband and two children.
Praise for We Gather Together:
"Although a substantial amount of information is presented,
Pfeffer's lively writing style will keep readers engaged. Bleck's
vibrantly hued illustrations, reminiscent of the work of Leonard
Weisgard, are carefully interwoven with the text and enhance the
book."
—School Library Journal
"This will be a very useful addition to a home or school
library—instructive but appealing in format and presentation."
—Children's Literature
