Kary Lamb, Grade 2
BACK IN THE DAY
Growing up in southern California, Kary spent her childhood painting backdrops on her sliding glass door, tapping on her typewriter, or directing (bossing around) the neighborhood kids in one of her screen plays. After college she landed a job as an art director, because she liked the bossy part. But when Kary started hiring illustrators she realized she might be on the wrong side of the desk. Taking inspiration from her second grade self, she made the pivot to picture books. She took a watercolor class, joined the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) and won an LA portfolio award. Six picture books and a couple more awards later, she’s never looked back.
