BIOGRAPHIES
Simon, Seymour

From Paper Airplanes to Outer Space

(3) 4-6 Meet the Author series. Photographs by Nina Crews. A preoccupation with the natural world links these autobiographies by two successful children's book writers. Simon focuses on the writing process, while Cherry talks more about her environmental activism. Both authors effectively convey the challenges and rewards of their chosen career. Photographs, as well as reproductions of some of Cherry's earliest illustrations, reinforce the books' feeling of intimacy.
