A native of Montpelier, Zoe Linton grew up reading the books of Eric Carle and Leo Lionni and was immediately drawn to the simple shapes and bright colors found in their books. While studying Art History at the University of Vermont, she became familiar with and inspired by the work of Henri Matisse. She graduated from the University of Vermont with a B.A. in Art History and Environmental Studies in May, 2011. She worked for the Green Mountain Club as a summit caretaker on Mt. Mansfield during the summer of 2010. She wrote The Wampahoofus’ Favorite Place, a children's book about the flora and fauna of the alpine area atop Mt. Mansfield, for her senior thesis project. She hopes that the book will encourage children to become curious about the plants and animals found on top of Mt. Mansfield so that they will become future stewards of this beautiful, rare and fragile alpine area. Zoe is currently traveling the United States in pursuit of ideas for her next book.
