Gretchen Ellen Powers has illustrated The Boxcar Children’ s 75th anniversary edition as well as Summer’ s Call (about her beloved Mitten State). History has always held a special place in her heart, so she loved illustrating Rosalind’ s story and shining a light on a marvelous woman whose contributions have too long been cast in the shadows. She lives with her family in a farmhouse among the tall trees and the music of the lake of southwest Michigan. She invites you to visit her online at gretchenellenpowers. com.
