Carol Antoinette Peacock

I grew up in Maryland, in a suburb outside of Washington D.C. I am the oldest of three children in a family who loved books. I wanted to be a writer since I was eleven. Decades later, I am now a practicing psychologist and author of six books. I earned a BA at Cornell University, a Masters of Social Work from Columbia University and a Ph.D. in Psychology at Boston College.

My first book, Hand Me Down Dreams (Schocken, 1981), was praised in the New York Times Book Review and was optioned for CBS film rights. The book is an account of my work with four troubled adolescent girls who are able to break family patterns and create new lives for themselves.

Next, I wrote Sugar Was My Best Food: Diabetes and Me (Whitman, 1998), the story of how a boy

Erica L. Clymer

Hi there! Thank you for visiting my page. Here is a little bit about me and how I became a Children's Book Author and Illustrator. As a kid, I loved drawing and was constantly filling up sketch books with cartoons. I liked to draw characters from movies, the Comics section of the newspaper and even create my own! As I got a little older, I also found a love for creative writing. I soon began to pair my illustrations with stories and handmade several of my own books. My love for art carried through to college where I studied Architecture and Graphic Design. After graduation, I pursued a career in the design field. A few years ago, my mom was cleaning out my childhood room and gave me a box filled with my books and sketches from when I was yo

“Life with kids is an amazing adventure—one I would not trade for the world. One of my favorite times of the day is when my kids snuggle up on my lap to read a few books before bed. I absolutely love how picture books capture their imagination, make them laugh out loud, and bond us closer together. To be able to provide those moments for other families with my own books has become one of my greatest joys in l
