Danna Smith is a prolific children's book author whose titles include the Little Golden Book Springtime Babies, and Mother Goose's Pajama Party.

She lives in Northern California with her family.

With a keen eye for beautiful colours, Kathryn has an ability to capture that special child-like charm that makes her illustrations unique.

She grew up in Connecticut, USA, and as a child developed a deep love of picture books. To feed this obsession, she worked as an intern in the children's department of Sterling Publishing and received her BFA in Illustration from the Rhode Island School of Design.

Now living on the Yale campus in New Haven, Connecticut, Kathryn hikes, reads the newspaper, bicycles poorly and cooks elaborate meals daily. Her artwork is cheerful, colourful and features a lot of very happy children. She will always prefer the countryside, even if is filled with hateful mosquitos.
