Lyn Kriegler

We were lucky enough to have a visit during book week from the wonderful author/illustrator Lyn Kriegler. She shared with us how she became an illustrator with some wonderful stories from when she was a child. We thought she was an excellent story teller and we enjoyed her visit. 

Lyn Kriegler is a book illustrator, scriptwriter and oral storyteller. Originally from the United States, her career as a staff artist and art director saw her work for a variety of organisations such as Mademoiselle, The New Yorker, and the Washington Post. In 1974 Kriegler immigrated to New Zealand and has since illustrated 22 picture books, seven chapter books and 25 readers. In 2006 she illustrated Margaret Mahy’s Family Surprises, and more recently she has written her own book, Mister Minty (illustrated by Blair Sayer).
