Congratulations to Alice, winner of our BttS December Contest! She correctly answered our contest question…

Eric Rohmann is an author and illustrator of books for young readers. You can check out more of his work on his website. And if you didn’t win the contest, you can buy this limited edition print for $275.00, plus shipping and handling.
