Illustration styles

The illustration style that Schanzer uses varies from book to book. The story itself helps to inform the technique and medium. For example, the illustrations in her book The Old Chisholm Trail (a cowboy song) are painted on wood veneer.

Profile

Rosalyn Schanzer

Children’s Author

Children’s author and illustrator Rosalyn Schanzer views history as series of grand adventures full of fascinating people — stories just waiting to be told. And she loves to tell them, bringing real-life characters like George Washington (and that other George, King George III), Benjamin Franklin, Charles Darwin, Lewis & Clark, Davy Crockett, and others to life through vivid storytelling and rich-in-detail illustrations. Extensive research, humor, and an understanding of human nature are at the heart of all her nonfiction books for kids.
