Amy June Bates, Artist and Illustrator
Amy June Bates is a nationally-known, prolific, and immensely talented children's book illustrator and artist who went to Brigham Young University, had the good fortune to marry Alex Bates and now is raising a boisterous family with him while she works diligently and successfully at her profession here in Carlisle. Here's her biography from her website:
"When Amy was a kid she loved to draw and read. She spent the time that she wasn't reading and drawing trying to keep her six brothers and sisters from drawing on her pictures and losing her place in whatever book she was reading. She loved the mountains quite a bit.
She grew up and learned to draw a lot better.
She currently lives in Pennsylvania with her three children and husband. She reads and she draws quite a bit."
Upon request, we will be delighted to fill orders of her books with inscribed, signed, and/or doodled copies. Amy is a gem, and she is only getting better, more famous, and more wonderful.

SIGNED COPIES BY BOTH JEWEL AND AMY JUNE BATES!
“The award-winning singer has taken one of her songs and created a gorgeous picture book to accompany her voice on the CD included,” raved School Library Journal about Jewel’s first picture book, That’s What I’d Do.
In Sweet Dreams, a mother’s soothing lullaby opens the door to an imagined adventure for her sleeping child. Amy June Bates’s luminous illustrations capture the beautiful world of dreams that every mother wishes for her child. The pair rows though the indigo night sky and catches shimmering stars in their silver net. Cascading clouds spill form the Big Dipper, drawing them along their night journey.
This package includes a hardcover book along with a CD of the song sung by Jewel.
