He dreamed of becoming a cartoonist from the age of six, and, at age twelve, apprenticed himself to his favorite cartoonist, Noro Shinpei. For the next four years, Say learned to draw and paint under the direction of Noro, who has remained Says mentor.

For years, Say continued writing and illustrating childrens books on a part-time basis.

It was then that Say decided to make a full commitment to doing what he loves best: writing and illustrating childrens books. Since then, he has written and illustrated many books, including TREE OF CRANES and GRANDFATHERS JOURNEY, winner of the 1994 Caldecott Medal Author Biography Allen Say was born in Yokohama, Japan, and came to the United States when he was sixteen.
