Bob Staake is the author and illustrator of more than seventy books, including The Red Lemon, named one of the ten best illustrated books of the year by the New York Times. Bob has illustrated many covers for The New Yorker, including Reflection, commemorating the election of Barack Obama, which Time named the best cover of the year and remains The New Yorker’s most popular cover of all time. Perhaps even more famously, his maternal grandfather invented the crinkle-cut French fry!
