I Haiku You (3 page)

Betsy Snyder’s
art and poems speak to the kid in all of us. She draws inspiration from her own childhood loves—a new box of crayons, a best teddy-bear friend, and even a grape Popsicle (still her favorite!).

Betsy’s illustrations have won numerous awards, including recognition from the Please Touch Museum, the Society of Illustrators, and the Cooperative Children’s Book Center, which selected Haiku Baby as a CCBC Choices title. Sweet Dreams Lullaby was named a Bank Street Best Children’s Book of the Year. In addition to writing and illustrating children’s books, Betsy is a seasoned illustrator and designer of greeting cards. Betsy and her husband live in northeast Ohio. You can visit her online at
