Michael Oswald lives in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania with his wife, Lisa where they raised Nick, Sally, Emily and Jenny. A graduate of The Philadelphia College of Art and Goddard College, Michael's primary occupation has been working with children and families, including those with special needs. After a lifetime of helping others and being an artist at heart, Michael has begun writing and drawing stories that reflect his desire to help children and parents grow up in an emotionally supportive and loving way. In 3 Years Apart , his newest book for parents and children (Ages 4-10) he "draws" a portrait of the life of a sister and brother who overcome childhood conflicts to grow up with a positive connection.
