Science People

David Lee Csicsko is an award-winning artist and designer whose distinctive artwork, stained glass, and mosaics beautify train stations, hospitals, churches and universities across the Midwest and East Coast. His many credits include designing the Obamas’ White House Christmas in 2012. David’s lively illustrations can also be seen in The Skin You Live In from the Chicago Children’s Museum, now in its 16th printing. Through his use of color, bold graphics and playful patterns, David Lee Csicsko celebrates the richness and diversity of life. Lindy Sinclair has worked in design, music, politics, printing, and publishing, but reading has always been her first love. She is currently Trope Publishing Co.’s resident wordsmith and proofreading wizard, and though she has written since grade school, Science People is the first book with her name on the cover. She grew up in northeast Ohio but now lives, reads and knits in Chicago.
