SARAH MASSINI is the illustrator of Books Always Everywhere, written by Jane Blatt. Sarah's mom always said it was a blessing how paper and a pencil could keep her quiet and out of mischief for hours. Not much has changed. She's still quiet and well-behaved! Drawing has been a life-long habit that has seen her through careers in corporate design, children's book design and now as an illustrator... and illustrating is what she loves doing best.
