When the Dark Clouds Come - Danielle Ridolfi

Ridolfi, Danielle: - \nAs a child, thunderstorms frightened Danielle Ridolfi, but now she absolutely loves them. She makes illustrations that celebrate the quiet, gentle parts of the natural world as well as the fierce and booming. With her background as a clinical psychologist, she watches the ways that the moods of nature sometimes mirror our own. Where the Dark Clouds Come is Danielle's debut picture book. She is also currently illustrating a picture book about the secret lives of plants and another about the beauty of doing nothing. She teaches illustration and children's studies at Washington University in St. Louis and lives in St. Louis, Missouri, with her family.\n \ndanielleridolfi.com.\n
