It is not greed, it is not a trick,

V.A.Halliday has had a passion for children's books starting with a pile of books given to her by her mother, from her childhood, which in turn were read to her own children when they were young. Fascinated by the history of children's literature as a means of educating and teaching through imaginative storytelling and illustration, V.A.Halliday believes that children's books play an important role in establishing a lifelong love for reading, learning and imagining.

V.A.Halliday has drawn, painted and enjoyed assembling things since childhood. She received a BFA from Cornell University where she studied printmaking, including bookmaking. A personal study of children's literature began while reading to her children when they were young. This grew into an appreciation of the magic books bring to childhood; allowing them to travel around the world, throughout history, live any life, get to know anyone and learn life lessons in an entertaining way. V.A.Halliday combined her art background with her love of storytelling to turn a box of jotted down stories and scribbled sketches into books.
