Erik P. Kraft is a writer and illustrator of children's books. His first book, Chocolatina (Bridgewater Books, 1998) was illustrated by Denise Brunkus,[1] but from that point on, he illustrated his own books. Lenny and Mel (2002), Lenny and Mel's Summer Vacation (2003), and Lenny and Mel: Afterschool Confidential (2004) were all published by Simon & Schuster. Miracle Wimp, a young adult novel featuring illustrations, was released in August 2007 by Little, Brown. Kraft came to writing later in life.[2] Besides writing children and young adult books, Kraft is an adjunct professor at Columbia University and writes reviews for Boston Book Review.[2]
