FOUNDING MOTHERS Cokie Roberts/Diane Goode

COKIE ROBERTS is a political commentator for ABC News, provding analysis for all network programming. She also serves as senior news analyst for National Public Radio. She has won countless awards, including three Emmys; has been inducted into the Broadcasting and Cable Hall of Fame; and was cited by the American Women in Radio and Television as one of the fifty greatest women in the history of broadcasting. She is the author of the bestselling We Are Our Mother's Daughters, Founding Mothers, Ladies of Liberty, and From This Day Forward (written with her husband, journalist Steven V. Roberts). She and her husband have also collaborated on Our Haggadah and write a weekly syndicated column together. Cokie Roberts holds more than twenty-five honorary degrees, serves on the boards of several nonprofit institutions, and was on President Bush's Commission on Service and Civic Participation.

DIANE GOODE is the illustrator of more than fifty beloved and critically acclaimed picture books, including the Caldecott Honor Book When I Was Young in the Mountains by Cynthia Rylant. Inspired by the handwritten letters of the Founding Mothers, she begins with their quill and sepia handwriting and spins out the line to re-create their images and the remarkable events of their lives for a new generation of young readers.

Praise from the critics:

Publisher's Weekly: "…her ink lines are the very definition of verve, her sense of comic detailing is faultless." BUT I WANTED A BABY BROTHER, Kate Feiffer & Diane Goode

Betsy Bird: “Alligator Boy” is small and quiet and supremely sublime." Cynthia Rylant & Diane Goode

The New York Times: "Diane Goode's pen-and-ink drawings spin out like ragtime, each squiggle denoting a rustle of silk or a whoop or whisper." THANKSGIVING IS HERE!, Diane Goode

Kirkus (* starred review) :"Goode has transformed this 19th-century etiquette primer into a degustatory romp... Look carefully at every spread so as not to miss a crumb of this delicious humor." MIND YOUR MANNERS, Diane Goode

Booklist: "Exquisitely drawn yet always centered on its two pint-size heroines, the book shows off the sophistication of Paris and juxtaposes it with the broad comedy of pratfalls and flying pastry. The result is as delectable as the pink birthday cake." MAMA'S PERFECT PRESENT, Diane Goode
