Biographical notes:

Betsy Bowen is an illustrator, woodcut artist and award-winning author of nine books. Her popular woodcut prints and books appear in galleries throughout Minnesota and the country. "Antler, Bear, Kazoo - A North Woods Album of Songs" was inspired by her first three books: "Antler, Bear, Canoe;" "Gathering;" and "Tracks in the Wild," published by Houghton-Mifflin. Reviewers have described her distinctive woodcuts as bold, rich and handsome. The mother of three sons, she has lived with her family on the rugged north shore of Lake Superior in Minnesota for more than thirty years.
