Marla Frazee’s delicate, expressive drawings tell stories of childhood, friendship, and parenting, and of overcoming life’s challenges at any age. They celebrate and savor the simple joys and wonders of the world.

Frazee was awarded a Caldecott Honor for All the World and A Couple of Boys Have the Best Week Ever. She is author-illustrator of Roller Coaster, Walk On!, Santa Claus the World’s Number One Toy Expert, The Boss Baby, Boot & Shoe, and The Farmer and the Clown, as well as illustrator of The Seven Silly Eaters, the Clementine series, God Got a Dog, and many others. On view in the Mind’s Eye Gallery are 80 artworks from nineteen of her picture books.
