The author and illustrator of
three picture books --Zachary's Ball, Oliver's Game, and Mudball
-- and the illustrator of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas -- all
Candlewick Press titles – has had dreams of baseball all his life. Zachary’s
Ball, a classic picture book about a boy's baseball fantasies coming true,
began as Matt Tavares's senior art thesis at Bates College in Maine. The subject
was a natural choice for the author and illustrator, who had spent his childhood
growing up in Boston as a Red Sox fan and always wanted to be a baseball
player. Matt lives right here in Maine (Ogunquit) with his wife and daughter
