Zinelda McDonald’s first-ever preschool drawing was a rose. Neither the teacher nor her mother could tell what it was. But that hardly matters now – these days, her name graces numerous celebrated books as the illustrator. Over the years, she’s drawn all sorts of things: monsters, princesses, slippers, grannies, elephants, aliens, and yes – roses too. No one struggles to decipher her illustrations anymore; instead, they’ve earned her awards time and again.
