King Cat
Written and Illustrated by Tracy Gallup
King Cat – aloof, frisky, and self-absorbed – and his incredibly talented creator, author and illustrator Tracy Gallup—are going to have an immediate following.
Ms. Gallup, a doll maker from Ann Arbor, Michigan, has a combination of talented writing and perfectly quirky artwork that has drawn immediate praise from booksellers who’ve declared it “the perfect story time book for day or night.” There is also something about her work that seems strangely reminiscent of Margaret Wise Brown’s work—a big statement indeed, but read King Cat today, and again day after day, and you’ll realize what a great book it is, and what a great talent Tracy Gallup is.
Tracy Gallup
Tracy Gallup has worked as an artist for twenty-six years after receiving a BFA degree from Eastern Michigan University and a MFA degree from Syracuse University. She has designed a line of dolls which have been sold at gallery, boutiques and museum shops across the country.
Ms. Gallup's book, King Cat, is
clever, funny, cute and has a certain magic to it that is
hard to describe but is immediately recognizable. King Cat
is a favorite storytime book for bookstores, classrooms
and most importantly, bedtime.
Ms. Gallup will be releasing three new books with Mackinac
Island Press in the spring of 2007 and is quickly garnering
national attention and comparisons to some of the classic
author/illustrators of children's books.
