Rebecca Bond

Author-illustrator and designer Rebecca Bond, who created 10 books for young readers, was raised in the small town of Peacham, Vt. Bond graduated from Brown University in 1995 with a degree in visual arts. During that time, she also took classes at the Rhode Island School of Design with author-illustrator David Macaulay and with art professor and agent Judy Sue Goodwin-Sturges, who went on to become an important mentor. Following graduation, Bond worked at Studio Goodwin-Sturges in Boston, developing several ideas for picture books, while simultaneously pursuing work in social services and teaching. With help from Goodwin-Sturges, she presented her work to publishers, sparking the interest of Little, Brown editor Megan Tingley. Bond was named a PW Flying Start in 1999 for her debut picture book, Just Like a Baby (Little, Brown).
