Jill Pinkwater

American author and illustrator. Her husband Daniel is also an author (more prolific and well-known) and Jill has illustrated many of his books and collaborated with him on a few. She has also written some children's books of her own, mainly animal stories, including one about Icelandic horses which is based on her own Icelandic mare and foal.
