She loves to watch ballet and is an accomplished dancer of<br>swing, foxtrot, and chacha. While researching the books about Tallulah, she sat in on a number<br>of ballet classes for girls and boys at the Third Street Music School in New York City, which now<br>puts on performances of the Tallulah books, featuring Marilyn as the narrator. Marilyn lives in<br>Brooklyn, New York, and Washington, Connecticut, with her husband and several pets.

If you ask her about her<br>feelings for Tallulah and dance, she will tell you that the passion, strength, and humanity of this<br>little girl are what spoke to her while doing the art for both Tallulah's Tutu and Tallulah's Solo.<br>Going back to her own childhood, Alexandra felt about drawing exactly the way Tallulah does<br>for ballet. Looking to the present, Alexandra sees all of Tallulah's emotions in her own little girl, <br>Vanessa, who wants to be either a professional soccer player, storyteller, or actor at the school<br>play--all equally enthusiastically. Alexandra was born and grew up in Munich, Germany. She<br>now lives in California with her husband, daughter, and two cats, and has illustrated many<br>picture books, as well as the Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle books.
