Richard Keep has collaborated with his wife, Linda Lowery, on three books for children: Who Wants a Valentine?, Merry Christmas, Everyone!, and the New York Times children's paperback best-seller Trick or Treat, It's Halloween! They live in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, a colonial Mexican town known for its many fiestas and celebrations. Keep chose a traditionally Mexican approach in creating the illustrations for Clatter Bash!, using simple materials at hand such as painted papers, papel picado (perforated paper), and amate bark paper (hand-made by Otomi artisans). Clatter Bash! is the first picture book he has both authored and illustrated. See less
