- #5 Matt Tavares grew up surrounded by books and reading. From the time he was very young, his mother read to him every night, and his family made countless trips to the public library. Years later, as a studio art major at Bates College, he rediscovered his love for picture books and decided to try to make his own. For his senior project, Matt wrote and illustrated a story called Sebastian’s Ball, about a boy who caught a magic foul ball at a Boston Red Sox game. Three years later, after much revision, Sebastian’s Ball became Zachary’s Ball, Matt’s first published picture book. Since then, Matt has written and illustrated several award-winning picture books, including Growing Up Pedro, Becoming Babe Ruth, and Crossing Niagara. Matt’s books have won numerous awards. Matt lives in Maine with his wife, Sarah, and their two daughters.
