This Skin I'm In - Paperback

Crane, Courtney: - Courtney believes that a fanciful story transforms ordinary moments into extraordinary moments. Her cherished memories of childhood include listening to the imaginative retelling of classical yarns and fairy tales by her father. Courtney continued this delightful tradition while raising her daughter. This Skin I'm In was envisioned following a zoo visit. She wrote the story for her daughter and children of all ages with the cooperation and support of her friend and the book's illustrator, Karen Henneck. Courtney resides in Atlanta or wherever her husband, Jerry unpacks his portmanteau. When she isn't spinning fables for her gregarious granddaughter, she probably has a camera or a paintbrush in her hand.

These books are illustrated by those who give meaning to our lives! From the first Dick and Jane books she held, to the Golden Books she read to her baby brother, Karen wanted to create these wonderful books some day. After raising a family and working as a floral designer for 21 years, she received her art degree. Karen then found the magical world of her childhood dreams that had been so long out of reach. In addition to children's books, she creates impressionistic pastel paintings of the beautiful western landscape. For more information, visit: www.karenhenneck.com
