Author Information

Sheila Murphy Adams is an elementary school teacher and children's book author. She receives both inspiration and encouragement from her students. She actually published her first book because her students told her they loved it. She had written a picture book memoir as a lesson about the genre of memoir. Her students thought it was good enough to be published, so she asked her father to illustrate the book for her, which began a wonderful partnership in which she wrote and he illustrated seven books in seven years. Sheila lives in North Stonington, Connecticut with her husband, Mark. As a teenager, Edward Murphy, the illustrator, drew cartoons for his school's yearbook. Dreaming of becoming a cartoonist, he put together a portfolio and attended art school for one year. His dreams were put on hold when he enlisted in the U.S. Navy to fight in the Korean War. On board the ship, he continued to draw for the shipboard newspaper. After the war, Ed put his skills to work designing houses and apartments for the family development business, instead of returning to art school. He never forgot his dreams, however, and enjoyed illustrating for his daughter's books. Ed. lived in Mystic, CT with his wife, Pauline.
