Rescued from A Ball for Daisy[edit]

Chris Raschka grew up in Pennsylvania and as a kid, loved to draw and read[1]. He grew up with two siblings, a brother and a sister, and enjoyed playing musical instruments and painting. Raschka graduated St. Olaf College in Minnesota with a degree in biology. After travelling abroad for awhile he applied to medical school which he soon realized was not what he wanted to do with the rest of his life, he then decided he wanted to become a painter. Raschka began illustrating picture books while living in New York which led him to earn his first award in 1994. He has illustrated over 50 books since then. Chris Raschka has a unique perspective on his childhood which allows him to approach his books differently than other authors. He looks at himself more or less the same as he did when he was a child and this gives his books a a different feel. For Raschka to start a book he pulls events and thoughts not only from his everyday life but also from the past when he was a child.[2] The way that he presents his book to others is also an interesting point to look at. He creates his book with a specific audience in mind which includes himself as a child and other children. When he presents the book he will often get someone else to read it to a group of children and have them take notes on how the children perceived it and what their reactions were.
