Don't Forget to Dress in Your Fanciest!
Robin Preiss Glasser has had two successful careers, the first as a ballet dancer and the second as an award-winning children’s book illustrator. After an 11-year career as soloist with the Pennsylvania Ballet, Glasser returned to school at age 30 to receive her BFA from Parsons The New School for Design. Among the noted authors and personalities for whom Glasser has illustrated best-selling children’s books are Judith Viorst, radio star Garrison Keillor, poet Elizabeth Garton Scanlon, and Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York. Glasser received an ALA Notable Book Award for You Can’t Take a Balloon into the Metropolitan Museum with author Jacqueline Preiss Weitzman, and collaborated on three books with the former vice president’s wife, Lynne Cheney ( America, A Patriotic Primer; A is for Abigail; and Our 50 States), which together sold more than 1 million copies.
In 2005 Glasser was paired with author Jane O’Connor for the now classic Fancy Nancy!
