About the Author

Bob Holt has been drawing since childhood and had a long career as an illustrator at Hallmark Cards. You probably know him as the co-creator of hoops&yoyo, the pink cat and green bunny, or for his love of french fries. The Red Jacket is Bob the human's fifth swanky cool book for children-and no, he is not related to Bob the Seagull. Bob and his wife live in Kansas City, Missouri, far away from any beach. They have two daughters, two cats, and one mortgage that won't leave home. You can visit Bob online at www.bob-holt.myportfolio.com.
