Kevin Hawkes is the illustrator of the Learn to Draw Animals Art Book. He has illustrated more than 50 acclaimed picture books and chapter books, including Chicken Cheeks, Library Lion, and Sidewalk Circus. Kevin lives in Maine where he is often found wandering aimlessly through the garden. He says his best time to work is in the winter because he can settle down and not get distracted, but summer is his worst because he wants to explore the woods, mountains and beaches around him! His favorite thing to draw are animals doing funny things, as well as cobalt blue skies, imaginary landscapes, and flying pianos.
