Michael Martchenko

Thirty years ago when being an author seemed like an unattainable dream, I had a second seemingly unattainable dream: that Michael Martchenko would illustrate a book that I wrote. As it turned out, he became the illustrator for my very first book, Silver Threads. He also illustrated the book that made me a princess, Enough. I saw Michael tonight at a Scholastic Canada do and asked my friend Natalie Hyde to take this pic. The last time we had our pic taken was 17 years ago when Enough was launched.
