Pat Blankenship is the author of three children’s picture books, Pensive Penelope Thinks About Words, Listening Lucas Listens to Letters, and Marvelous Margot Makes Art. These titles are all part of her Brilliant Kids Series.
All Pat’s books celebrate the hard work kids do as they work through developmental milestones like finding their voices, using their imaginations, and learning to create the art of language and color. Illustrated by fine artist and illustrator Linden Eller, the images offer whimsical insights into the stories as well as clues to the joyful impact of having adults celebrate, respect and listen to their hard-working kids! A former attorney, yoga teacher, arts advocate and public speaker, Pat spends many of her days flying around the hemisphere to hang out with her far-flung adult kids and her hard-working granddaughters!
