Chris Gail Author and Illustrator

“Chris Gall is an author and illustrator of over 20 books for children. His first book, America the Beautiful, was an illustrated homage to his great, great aunt, Katharine Lee Bates and her revered poem. As a child, he grew up with a hand-written copy of the poem on the living room wall, and years later, he was inspired to take a fresh look at the lyrics and reinterpret them for a new generation. As an illustrator, he has worked with clients all over the world for more than 30 years. He is a pilot and avid outdoor explorer living in Tucson, Arizona.”
