Hi - I'm John Himmelman and I write and illustrate books - mostly for kids, some for adults. Some of the art i've done for other projects end up on T-shirts and coffee cups ... I also give talks on nature. Lot's of info on here! - links abound! If you are a publisher, I can be contacted via Herman Agency. Everyone else, feel free to reach out - my email's in the header. Thank you for stopping by!
