Given Greg Foley's history as designer and creative director at Visionaire, V, and VMAN, it's really no surprise that he's created his Bear books with such simple and classic appeal. Born in the Phillipines, raised in Austin, Texas, and now living in Greenwich Village, Foley's intention is to make books for children worldwide. And clearly it's working; Thank You Bear won the prestigious Charlotte Zolotow Award and both it and Don't Worry Bear are being published in Europe, Asia, and Australia. Will Foley continue to do more Bear books? Friends are forever!
