Lauren Briere grew up in Wrentham, MA, and got her BFA in illustration from MassArt in Boston. She works in Austin, TX, now and runs multiple projects from home. Her professional artist's resume consists of work ranging from children'_x06EA_s book illustrations, designer rain umbrellas ""Over Our Heads,"" animated music videos (two of which were made for the awesomely sweet band The Weepies), and quirky painting series made for her own amusement.
""This is a fun and beautifully illustrated alphabet picture book that will surely become a family favorite… and the best part, it doesn’t rhyme!"" —Robert Broder, author of Reading Together and Our Shed: A Father-Daughter Building Story “A is for AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH this is great! Fun for early readers to find “hidden” corresponding images in each letter picture, with a big friendly robot leading the way, and with some bigger words for advancing readers to cruise through with satisfaction. Beautiful, engrossing, and charming.” —Steve Tannen of the Weepies (and Dad of avid readers) ""An absolute treasure trove of whimsical delights, full of playful portraits and even more amusing automatons. The kind of cutely clever concept you wish you would come up with, but Briére pulls it off with more wit and wonder than you could ever hope for."" —Thom Dunn, writer at BoingBoing
