Sallie Wolf
Wherever Sallie Wolf goes she brings her journal, fountain pen, ink, and paints. These are the tools she uses to record the world she sees. Sometimes she is painting the lake view, sometimes sketching a bird, sometimes recording the phase and movement of the moon. Keen observation, a unique perspective, and a youthful imagination guide Sallie's art and writing. Her creations in turn inspire others to notice and examine more closely the potential for wonder and creativity that lie all around us.
Sallie Wolf is the author of Truck Stuck
, illustrated by Andy Robert Davies, (Charlesbridge, Spring, 2008), and
The Robin Makes a Laughing Sound: A Birder’s Journal, (Charlesbridge,
Fall 2009) which she both wrote and illustrated.
Her first book, Peter's Trucks, was illustrated by Cat Bowman
Smith, (Albert Whitman, 1992).
Sallie has taught art and writing workshops for all ages. She especially likes being able to share her working process, as she did with a 2nd grade class. In addition to reading her picture books, Sallie showed the students collages based on bird sketches from her journals. She read poems she wrote, based on her observations of birds, and the children made bird collages of their own from recycled materials. "You are a wonderful PRO!" was the response of the teacher. One student wrote, "I liked doing bird collages with you. It was so fun. I finished 3 collages."
