Aaron Becker began drawing picture books at the age of eight. After many years of practice, he published his first wordless picture book, Journey, which was named a Caldecott Honor Book, and has since become a trilogy alongside Quest and Return. Aaron also won the Carnegie Medal for Illustration and Shadowers' Choice Award for Illustration with The Tree and the River. He is now on a quest to share his books with as many young readers as possible. “There is nothing more gratifying than seeing kids hold one of my books close to their heart,” he says. “My hope is that these stories might inspire us all to place a bit more faith in the power of wonder.” Aaron Becker lives in the USA in Massachusetts, with his wife and daughter.
