Born and raised on Staten Island, New York, Sharon Wooding received her BS degree from Bucknell University and studied drawing and painting at the University of Colorado, deCordova Museum School, and School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. She has written and illustrated many books for children, including Arthur's Christmas Wish (Atheneum), The Painter's Cat (Putnam), The Monastery Cat (Small Batch Books), and now Leonardo's Cat, the third book in the Micio the Cat trilogy. (Wooding feels sure that Leo-nardo kept cats.) She and her husband have enjoyed observing Micio's relatives during their frequent travels in different parts of Italy, but home is a two-hundred-year-old farmhouse in Groton, Massachusetts, where they live with their own cat, Widget. Wooding is a signature member of New England Watercolor Society, where she served on the board for sixteen years. To find out more about Sharon Wooding, visit sharonwooding.com.
