Sandra Boynton is a popular American cartoonist, children's author, songwriter, producer, and director. Since 1974, Boynton has written and illustrated over fifty children's books and seven general audience books, including four New York Times Bestsellers. More than 60 million of her books have been sold--"mostly to friends and family," she says. She has also written (with Michael Ford) and produced four albums of renegade children's music. Three of her five albums have been certified Gold, and "Philadelphia Chickens," nominated for a Grammy, is nearing Platinum. Boynton has also directed five music videos of her songs, including the award-winning "One Shoe Blues" starring BB King. She lives in rural New England, and her studio is in a barn with perhaps the only hippopotamus weathervane in America.
