Matthew Cordell is an author and illustrator of children’s literature, newspapers, magazines, and many things in between. Though he spent most of his life in small town South Carolina, at the turn of the century he migrated midwest to set up shop in Chicago. It was there that he met his soon-to-be bride, his passion for children’s books, and deep dish pizza. Matthew’s children’s books include: Toby and the Snowflakes, Righty and Lefty, The Moon is La Luna, and Mighty Casey. Matthew now lives in the burbs of Chicago with his exceptional wife, picture book author and YA novelist Julie Halpern, and their very hungry Siamese cat, Tobin .
