Author Information
Julie Lucht holds a BA in Journalism. Her childhood was filled with trips to the library and museum with her mother. These trips, along with her two incredible daughters, were the inspiration for the strong, independent, and curious Poppy. Julie wishes she could travel through the paintings like Poppy. Currently, Julie lives in Texas with her wonderful husband, and loves reading, her family, and her dogs. Poppy Through the Paintings is her first children's book. Dan McGeehan is an illustrator, actor, director, and playwright. His whimsical, colorful illustrations have appeared in a wide range of magazines, textbooks, and children's books for over forty years. A resident of Chicago, Dan has traveled to many cities, and he always visits their art museums. Though unlike Poppy, he has not journeyed through any of their paintings . . . yet.
