About the Author
Diane Worthen, a "Fine Arts and Design Arts" painter, while painting in the garden, became interested in the little creatures she refers to as the Others. She soon began sketching and drawing them into designs for T-shirts and cards. When a tall wooden flamingo, with creaking wings, came to 'live' in the garden, her garden family was complete. Diane has many tales of the garden in her drawer but "Oliver's Wish" is her first author/illustator children's picture book to be published.
