She is the illustrator of Rainbow Cookies written by Leslea Newman, and both the author and illustrator of Sometimes, A Tiger. She lives with her husband in Colorado, close but not quite close enough to Heather.Heather Brockman Lee is an illustrator and author of books for children, when she isn’t being distracted by ghosts coming out of teacups.

"Sweet and playful, imbued with a heady message about perseverance in the face of vexation." —Kirkus Reviews"A charming narrative that exhibits the crafting spirit and provides future knitters a project to assist." —School Library Journal"A cute story to inspire knitters-to-be." —Booklist"It’s all very cozy—cups of tea, comfy chairs, yummy food, bubble baths—in the witch’s house, and the overarching messages of perseverance and accomplishment are decidedly non-spooky....convivial and lively." —The Horn Book
