In her silence, no one knew Erin was creating make believe worlds. In a closet or underneath the table (her favorite hiding spots), little Erin would conduct experiments in imagination. From an early age, she developed a strong love for art. Erin picked up many pencils and paintbrushes along the way, eventually receiving a degree in fine arts from the University of Tennessee, where her illustrations continued to take on a very imaginative, playful spirit. It was this spirit that carried Erin from the canvas to the children's book.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"I had such a strong bond with my favorite books growing up.
