Acknowledgments

Group hug for the entire Peachpit crew! Including, but not limited to, Lisa Brazieal, Scott Cowlin, Andreas F. S. deDanaan, Mimi Heft, Kelly Kordes Anton, Joy Dean Lee, Sara Jane Todd, Myrna Vladic, Ted Waitt, Liz Welch, Valerie Witte, and WolfsonDesign. You are all quite simply—amazing.

Robin Williams, whose generosity aligned the stars and eventually made this book a reality. From Santa Fe to London, and everywhere in between—a million thanks.

Jim and Maria Lintel—the best parents in the world! In addition to your unwavering love and support, I thank you for the many ways you have helped shape my life, my teaching—and ultimately, this book. I love you.

And finally, this book literally would not be the same without my incredible husband Emir. (Love you!) Whether helping with illustrations, graciously posing for a photo, putting up with countless late nights (very late nights), letting me play on the other side of the lens now and then, or simply being there when I needed you—you are my unwavering hero. Go team!
