As a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI), Lisa's entrance into the field of literature is one she has eagerly awaited and is very passionate about. As the daughter of a single parent who worked for a major airline, Lisa's exposure to (and interest in) travel began at an early age. Later in life, as Lisa's own children grew up and her love of animals continued, the idea for the Bella and Harry series was born. <p/> <b>Illustrator: Kristine Lucco</b><br> Born in rural Pennsylvania, Kristine's passion for art began at a young age. This interest in art continued and ultimately led Kristine to study at the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale.<br> Now a mother of two avid junior readers, Kristine's unique talent and particular flair for children's themes has evolved quite naturally into the world of children's books and illustrations. She is quick to credit her own children for inspiring this phase of her art, as it is often conceived by seeing the characters and places through their eyes.<br> In addition to her work on the Bella and Harry series, Kristine has also illustrated the most recently recognized children's book, "Wacky Jacky, The True Story of an Unlikely Beauty Queen".
