After milking one too many cows, Tim mooved east to study at the School of Visual Arts, where he earned his bachelor's in cartooning and his master's in art education. Moo Moo in a Tutu is Tim's picture book debut as an author-illustrator. He lives in New York City, and you can visit him online at www.timmillerillustration.com.
