Steven Kellogg is an author and illustrator of picture books—many, many picture books! He's published about 110 books in the 50 years he's been writing and illustrating, many of which he's written himself. He's also illustrated a great many titles by other authors.
He has always loved to draw and the way that pictures can deepen and expand the text of a story—creating what he calls a "beautiful duet." Kellogg started building this connection as a child, "telling stories on paper" to his two younger sisters, making up fanciful stories, and creating quick illustrations one after another to accompany the tales.
