The Author
Sallie Damron lives and works in the San Francisco Bay Area. She wrote the first version of "The Wallflower and the Butterfly" in June 2011 and began working with illustrator Wendy Anne Crittenden in 2013. Reading and writing are an essential part of Sallie's life and have been since she was a child. Raised without a television in the home, books were her form of entertainment and escape. "The Wallflower and the Butterfly" is Sallie's first children's book. She wrote it for families who still believe in bedtime stories.
The Illustrator
Wendy Crittenden can’t remember a time when she wasn’t drawing, it was always a part of her California childhood. She grew up and pursued a BFA and MFA in photography, but was always working on her first love of drawing on the side. Her drawing style has always had an illustrative quality, and The Wallflower and the Butterfly is a perfect fit for her first illustrated children’s book. She currently resides in Grand Junction, Colorado with her happy-go-lucky houndly mutt.
