PAULA GIBBS has loved old books and great art ever since her parents enrolled her in a classical school in third grade. After graduating from Logos School in Moscow, ID, she studied history at Seattle Pacific University and children’s book illustration and natural science illustration at the Rhode Island School of Design. Her professional experiences have included writing, teaching, graphic design, and coordinating a graduate program, and most recently she served as the Director of Communications at a classical Christian school in Richmond, VA. Paula is married to Joshua Gibbs (yes, that one) and they reside in Boise, ID, with their two daughters.
