Layne Johnson
I'm Layne Johnson and I illustrate award winning books
for children. As a children's book artist, I bring books
to life! But I don't just paint what the words say. I like putting a reader into the story, not watching but living it. When I expand the world of a book and make it larger, kids will want to read it again, and again. Visit me at laynejohnson.com.

The Poppy Lady: Moina Belle Michael
