Amy Gibson
Amy Gibson is the author of three picture books:
Around the World on Eighty Legs—a collection of animal poems;
Split! Splat!—a young, rhythmic picture book; and
Catching Kisses, a lyrical picture book about blowing and catching kisses. She wrote
By Day, By Night after seeing a documentary about children orphaned by AIDS in Africa; she sees it as "a book
about the children of the world
for the children of the world." She was an elementary school teacher before she became a writer. She lives with her husband and three children in Los Gatos, California. amygibson.com.
