When illustrator Gloria Kamen was a child, her medium was sidewalk and chalk. She went on to study art and enjoy a long career as a theatre cartoonist, children?s book writer and illustrator for a series of books by Miss Manners. Now she has created an anthology of inspiring biographies for young people and their parents. Heading Out:The Start of Some Splendid Careers tells inspiring stories from the lives of such notables as Dan Rather, Nelson Mandela, Lance Armstrong and her cousin, NH inventor Dean Kamen.
