Mom was born on October 18, 1930, in Wallace, Idaho, to Ida Mae and Merle G. McCandless. She had an older brother, Bob. She married Ned Stuart on January 1, 1950. They had three children: Steven, Scott and Carrie Ann. Evelyn was a teacher and guidance counselor in the Kellogg, Idaho, school system. She raised show dogs. She was five feet seven inches tall with a slender build, hazel eyes and (usually) blonde hair.
Those are the dry facts of a truly exceptional woman who finally lost a long and painful battle with emphysema in the spring of 2005. She passed away in her sleep, at home in her bed next to a window overlooking her beloved Great Pyrenees dogs.
Mom was too ill to know of my battle with breast cancer, nor did she live to see the publication of our previous book on drawing, but I know she would have been so very proud of my victory over cancer and my literary accomplishments.
She was a great mom, my inspiration and my hero. I miss her every day.
I just know I'll forget someone critical to my writing, art or life in the acknowledgments, so, if I do, I'll start off by saying I'm sorry and thank you! This book wouldn't be a reality without the wonderful children featured in these pages. I am so grateful to the parents who took time to send us photos or drive their children over so that we could photograph them.
Natalie Sweet, I love you! You and Al opened your home to us and rounded up your friends and family so that we could get the references we needed.
Greg Bean, as always, shared his wonderful art with us. I'm not sure we could do a book without at least calling him for a contribution. Janel Karrle, thank you for thinking of us and orchestrating the tea party photos, so beautifully snapped by Charlene Chavez. Philippe Faraut, you're a gifted sculptor. Thank you for your class, your use of plaster models for our book, and your talent (www.philippefaraut.com). Marlene Hirose, the San Jose, California artist we met at Philippe's class, thank you for your sketches of the kindergarten class. Nadeoui Eden, thank you for sharing more than your art with us.
To the brave and hardworking folks at North Light Books, thank you for entrusting me with this latest book: Mona Michael, Vanessa Lyman, Sarah Laichas and Pam Wissman. Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou.
A belated but deeply grateful thank-you to the great people at the North Idaho Cancer Center, in particular Dr. Haluk Tezkan and Patricia. Also thanks to my surgeons Dr. Philip Kladar and Dr. Robert Cooper. My body is whole, and I'm in remission from breast cancer thanks to you.
Finally, blessings and much love to our life inspirations, Frank and Barb Peretti, and the center of our lives, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Smile! Click. You've photographed your precious tyke. Now it's time to turn him or her into a work of art. I'm hopeful this book will be just what you need.
