Diane Worfolk AllisonDiane Worfolk Allison is a gifted visual storyteller who has several children’s books published by the Christian Science Publishing Society.

“As with all artists, I am captivated by ideas, that reveal the importance and uniqueness of all peoples, especially children. They make demands, these ideas.  Some want a poem, some an illustrated story, some a song an essay or a play. with or without puppets.  Drawing children is a joy. I must capture their unique spirit beyond what eyes see. Writing and drawing  for children is a mission.”
