Lee Harper always loved to draw. His love for
doodling grew into a serious ambition to be an artist and after high school he
attended the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia. He says
that "After college I embarked on the most challenging and rewarding
adventure of my life... being a husband and father of four wonderful children.
My career path took a few detours that led me down many roads which didn't
always involve making art, but somehow life's path led me back."
In 2008 he illustrated his
first published book, Woolbur by Leslie Helakoski. In addition to
illustrating books by authors like Wendi Silvano and Walter Dean Myers, Lee
also wrote and illustrated two works of his own: Snow! Snow! Snow! and The
Emperor's Cool Clothes. His fifth book, Turkey
Claus, another collaboration with Wendi Silvano, is due out in late 2012.
