Biography:
Aliki's talent
for art was recognized by her kindergarten teacher, but it was
not until after her marriage, and her move to Switzerland, that
her first book, The Story of William Tell, was published.
Since then she has been a prolific writer and illustrator of both
fiction and non-fiction books for children. By the summer of 1996,
two more of her books will have appeared.
Aliki was born and raised in Philadelphia, PA., and graduated
from the Philadelphia College of Art. As well as illustrating
her own works, she has also illustrated the works of others, including
those of her husband Franz, Joanna Cole and Paul Showers. Her
two children, Alexa and Jason, appear in many of her books.
Aliki has been the recipient of many honours including the New
York Academy of Sciences Children's Book Award and the Prix du
Livre pour Enfants (Geneva). Her many books for the Let's-Read-and-Find-Out
Science Books series are familiar to many budding researchers
and teacher-librarians.
