Sidelights

With a successful career as an illustrator spanning over three decades, True Kelley continues to write and illustrate nonfiction books, chapter books, picture books, and board books for children. Her pen-and-ink drawings, often enhanced by watercolor washes, are designed to delight babies, teach lessons about science, and charm young readers. Whether she illustrates the texts of others, collaborates with her husband, Steven Lindblom, or writes and illustrates her own books, Kelley maintains her reputation as the creator of humorous, expressive, and informative works.

As Kelley once told SATA, she developed an interest in illustration when she was a girl. "My mother illustrated children's books and my father was art director for Child Life magazine," she explained. "My first published self-illustrated story appeared there when I was four years old. After graduating from college with a degree in elementary education, I attended Rhode Island School of Design. I began working as an advertising illustrator and was greatly influenced by my father. My interest in children led me to doing textbook illustrations."

Kelley's illustrations for the texts of other authors have won her continuous praise throughout her career. In a review of Susan Breslow and Sally Blakemore's I Really Want a Dog, Horn Book contributor Hanna B. Zeiger concluded that "children will love the bright, humorous illustrations of dogs in every conceivable situation." The artist's canine portrayals in Sara Swan Miller's Three Stories You Can Read to Your Dog and its sequel, Three More Stories You Can Read to Your Dog, also received praise, a Publishers Weekly critic noting that Kelley demonstrates "familiarity with doggy expressions and gestures." Gale W. Sherman remarked in School Library Journal that Kelley's work for this book makes Miller's text "even funnier," and Booklist critic Ilene Cooper described the watercolor illustrations as "clever and full of vigor." Commenting on Three Stories You Can Read to Your Cat, School Library Journal contributor Joy Fleishhacker noted that the "repertoire of expressions" Kelley gives to Miller's feline narrator range from "pointedly disinterested to openly disdainful to perfectly contented." In a Publishers Weekly review, a critic wrote that Kelley's "uncomplicated pen-and-ink and watercolor images in Three Stories You Can Read to Your Cat, show an attention to familiar cat poses" while Marilyn Taniguchi noted of Miller's Three Stories You Can Read to Your Teddy Bear that the artist's "cartoon illustrations with their squiggly busy lines are full of movement and humorous detail." Reviewing Leslie Kimmelman's In the Doghouse: An Emma and Bo Story, Kelley's illustrations "aptly reflecting the action and supplying much of the humor" in Kimmelman's "woofy treat," according to a Kirkus Reviews writer.

Kelley's collaboration with Jean Marzollo and Marzollo's sons Dan and Dave has resulted in a series of engaging beginning readers focusing on sports topics. In Football Friends Kelley's "realistic" pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations "add visual breaks" to the story of a young boy who channels his competitive energies away from playground fights and onto the football field, according to Gale W. Sherman in School Library Journal. Similarly effective in Jean and Dan Marzollo's Basketball Buddies, Kelley's artwork also drew praise from School Library Journal contributor Nancy A. Gifford for including "ethnically diverse teams of boys and

girls" in a story about teamwork and sportsmanship, while in Booklist Carolyn Phelan praised Kelley's "cartoonlike ink drawings, washed with cheerful colors."

As several critics have noted, Kelley's cartoon-like illustrations serve as excellent supplements to the texts of nonfiction works and make information more easily understood. The Fossil Factory: A Kid's Guide to Digging up Dinosaurs, Exploring Evolution, and Finding Fossils, for example, which Kelley illustrated with husband Steven Lindblom, provides children with accessible scientific information about the petrified remains of dinosaurs and other ancient animals that now remain only as fossils. In the words of a Publishers Weekly reviewer, Kelley and Lindblom's work exhibits "a wealth of pale-ontological lore in a winning fashion," while New York Times Book Review critic Malcolm W. Browne praised the couple's drawings and diagrams as "simple and delightful." Kelley's contribution to Franklyn M. Branley's What Makes a Magnet?, one of several nonfiction collaborations between author and illustrator, were favorably noted by Booklist critic Denia Hester, the critic commenting that the book's "bright, splashy watercolors … make scientific exploration look like the fun it ought to be." Kelley's "bright and appealing" watercolor renderings enhance an updated edition of Branley's

Flash, Crash, Rumble, and Roll, according to School Library Journal contributor Patricia Manning, and her depiction of space life in Branley's Mission to Mars "is as likely as the text to recruit the astronauts of tomorrow" through her mix of "adventure, technology, and certain homey comforts," according to Phelan.

In another collaborative effort, Kelley illustrates several books with texts by James Deem that explore unusual subjects. How to Make a Mummy Talk explains what mummies are and describes their historical and cultural significance. Kelley's illustrations for this volume—black-and-white cartoon-like sketches—were cited by Mary Harris Veeder in a Booklist review as adding a "sense of humor" to Deem's nonfiction prose. How to Read Your Mother's Mind, Deem's book on extrasensory perception, also benefits from the addition of Kelley's "witty" pen-and-ink cartoons which "further clarify the text," according to a critic for Kirkus Reviews. In Booklist, Ilene Cooper described the illustrations as "terrific," while Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books contributor Roger Sutton praised the artwork's "lively improvisational flair."

In addition to illustrating texts by others, Kelley has also created art for several original stories. One of the first, A Valentine for Fuzzboom, introduces a rabbit in love. Lima Bean admires the haughty Fuzzboom and crafts assorted valentines for her beloved for months before finally sending him the best one. When Fuzzboom fails to send a valentine in return, Lima Bean is so upset she barely notices when she receives a lovely gift from another friend. Later, Lima Bean realizes her mistake and attempts to resolve her friendship issues. Geared for much younger children, Look, Baby! Listen, Baby! Do, Baby! encourages infants to look, listen, and then act. In the book's first section, a baby can look at pictures of different babies' mouths, noses, eyes, hands, and feet, all functioning in a variety of ways. The listening section provides an assortment of sounds accompanied by illustrations of the things or creatures that make them, while the "Do Baby!" section features infants crying, crawling, playing, and doing other things babies do. The drawings of babies are "droll and cheerful," according to Booklist critic Denise Wilms, and a Publishers Weekly critic praised the diverse "expressions and mannerisms" of Kelley's infants. Do Baby! is "definitely and delightfully a book for sharing … and enjoying many times over," according to the Publishers Weekly reviewer.

Let's Eat! describes where our food comes from, where it is eaten, and how various groups of people eat it around the world. Kelley's short text is brought to life

in illustrations which, in the words of School Library Journal contributor Louise L. Sherman, are "clear, whimsical, simple yet expressive watercolor and pen-and-ink." "Kelley has a marvelous eye for the funny and naughty little actions of children," Margaret A. Bush commented in a review for Horn Book, while Barbara Elleman concluded in Booklist that Let's Eat! is a "cornucopia of information to consume in nibbles or large bites."

Other original titles by Kelley include I've Got Chicken Pox, School Lunch, and Blabber Mouse. According to Booklist critic Phelan, I've Got Chicken Pox is a "first-rate" introduction to the common childhood disease that provides "Pox Facts" on each page in addition to Kelley's entertaining story. Jess, the narrator, is excited when she learns that, because she has chicken pox she will miss a week of school! Although she gets to drink ginger ale and eat ice cream, Jess quickly gets tired of the chicken pox: Not only is she feverish, itchy, and bored, but she is also tormented by her brother, who is jealous of her pox. The payoff for all this torment comes when Jess finally returns to school, and can detail the horrors of her illness to her amazed friends. Denise L. Moll pointed out in a School Library Journal review that Kelley's watercolor illustrations for I've Got Chicken Pox "are vibrant and appealing," and a Publishers Weekly writer dubbed the book a "humorously illustrated, jaunty tale."

A tiny rodent with lots to tell is the subject of Blabber Mouse, "an entertaining story with an unexpected ending" according to a Publishers Weekly contributor. Blabber just cannot seem to help himself; even when he promises to keep a secret, his need to chatter is a frustration to his family and friends. However, Blabber's buddies finally hit upon the perfect solution when they give him a special gift: A diary into which he can spill all his ideas, secrets, and gossip without causing any problems. A problem of an entirely different sort is the focus of School Lunch, after Harriet, the popular cook at Lincoln School, is replaced by a series of unacceptable chefs specializing in particularly unhealthy cuisine when she finally takes a vacation. Along with illustrations employing Kelley's "loosely doodled, expressive charm," School Lunch will serve useful in "lighten[ing] up units on nutrition," according to Booklist reviewer Jennifer Mattson, and a Kirkus Reviews writer called the book "marvelously cute and clever." While Grace Oliff concluded in her School Library Journal review that the book's illustrations "are bright and cheerful and amplify the silliness of the situation," Holly T. Sneering wrote in the same periodical that Blabber Mouse also pairs a "charming cast of characters and an effective narrative to teach children about gossip" with Kelley's characteristic upbeat and brightly hued cartoon art.
