ADDITIONAL AUTHORS AND ARTISTS (New Balkin Buddies...)
Since Balkin Buddies began in 2004, we have grown to include a large number of authors and artists to our list. However, we are still receiving requests from authors and illustrators who wish to be added to our list. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate them in the same manner as our initial list. All the same, we do wish to include them among the other Balkin Buddies authors and artists.
Therefore, we have decided to provide you with links to their websites. Should you wish to contact any of them, just go to the link provided. Authors are provided first in alphabetical order, followed by illustrators. Those who both write and illustrate books are shown under illustrators.
This is a new service on the Balkin Buddies website and other authors and artists will be added, as we feel are appropriate. Should you have any questions or comments, please contact Catherine at telephone 718-857-7605 or email her through this website. We are very interested in hearing your comments on these authors' and artists' books and programs, so please don't hesitate to contact us..
