Caryl Williams, illustrator, author, artist, introduces children in her book, The Words,  to words by mixing them up with art and humor. Caryl herself has been mixed up in art and humor since her elementary school years when she was dubbed "the artist." A graduate of Skidmore College with a fine arts degree and George Mason University with a masters in teaching, Caryl teaches art and wants all her students to know they are "the artist" too. She lives by the sea in Lewes, Delaware with her husband George and dog. Up in her attic studio she hangs out with her friends, the words and some wild ideas for her next crazy art/book projects.
