About
Bob Palmatier served as an elementary school teacher for 26 years, the last 10 as a science specialist. He has also spent the last two decades involved in the field research of native species of turtles, salamanders, and insects, and their habitats. Now, in retirement, he is enjoying weaving these two themes into children’s picture books.
“I’ve always admired the work of Beatrix Potter," says Bob. “But more recently, I’ve been drawn to the life and 'jungle' paintings of Henri Rousseau. His paintings make me smile: I can really identify with the methods of his primitive style. I think Stormy would like him, too.”
Bob is currently working on his next picture book: “Neddy Mittens: The Polydactyl Cat.”
