Tony DiTerlizzi was a successful fantasy artist before he fulfilled a childhood dream of writing and illustrating books for children. His spooky picture book The Spider and the Fly (2002) was a Caldecott Honor Medal winner and New York Times best-seller, and The Spiderwick Chronicles series (Simon & Schuster, 2003-2004), co-created with Holly Black, is based on an idea he had in the works for 20 years. His latest book is G Is for One Gzonk! An Alpha-Number-Bet Book (Simon & Schuster, 2006). Mr. DiTerlizzi lives in Massachusetts.
