Aaron Becker
Aaron Becker is the best-selling author of the award-winning Journey trilogy, the first book of which was named a Caldecott Honor Book and a New York Times Book Review Best Illustrated Children’s Book of the Year.
Some of Aaron Becker’s other wordless books for children young and old include The Last Zookeeper, The Tree and the River, which won the Yoto Carnegie Medal for Illustration, and A Stone for Sascha. He’s also the author of You Are Light, the first in a series of interactive board books suitable to display like stained glass in a window.
When he’s not exploring his western Massachusetts woods by mountain bike, he’s busy drawing new worlds in his backyard studio.
