Michael Glenn Monroe

Michael Glenn Monroe was already an award-winning, nationally known wildlife artist when he painted his first children's book, M is for Mitten: A Michigan Alphabet, which went on to become one of the best-selling children's books in Michigan. Michael followed up with ten other books including the holiday classic, A Wish to be a Christmas Tree, which was read by Katie Couric on the Today Show.

Michael spends most of the year traveling around the country presenting to elementary schools on his life as a self-taught artist and encouraging children to never give up on their dreams.
