Sheryl Daane Chesnut

Sheryl Daane Chesnut graduated from the University of California at Santa Barbara in Fine Art. After many years of graphic design, she decided to take the plunge into children's book writing and illustration. The illustrations in I'll Be There are a unique combination of watercolor painting and Polaroid transfers. She lives in San Luis Obispo, California, with her husband, three young book critics, two cars, and a wayward, garden-eating rabbit. This is her first children's book.
