New York artist and licensor Nancy Wolff is about to make her debut in children's books, illustrating Kathryn Madeline Allen's This Little Piggy's Book of Manners, set for a fall release from Henry Holt. She'll follow that up in spring 2005 with her initial title as an author and illustrator, also for Holt. That book—which will focus on friendship and features a cat who cooks—will, like This Little Piggy, target children ages two to six.
Wolff has been licensing her images to manufacturers for five years, building a 25-licensee program that encompasses everything from paper products and pens to floor mats and juice boxes. A recent deal, with giftware marketer Silvestri, represents her first foray into three-dimensional design.
