Kristi Valiant
Kristi Valiant got in trouble in the 4th grade for drawing too much, a vice that surely helped her graduate magna cum laude from Columbus College of Art and Design in Illustration. She’s the author/illustrator of the board books, No Bunny Like You; Hoo’s There; and Good Night, Cuddle Tight; and the picture book, Penguin Cha-Cha. Kristi has illustrated many children’s books, including the award-winning Cora Cooks Pancit, and children’s books written by bestselling author Danielle Steel. See if you can find a hidden hippo and monkey in the illustrations of her books! Kristi grew up in Wisconsin, studied in Ohio, moved to Texas, spent a summer in China, and now lives in Indiana with her husband, daughters, and rescue dog.
