WELCOMELisze is an animator, author, and illustrator. She loves to create characters in every way--through writing, drawing, modeling, animating, and even voice over acting. Many of her characters were inspired by pets with big personalities. Others have arrived from Odd Juxtapositions, a town not far from here. Her books have won awards such as The Maryland Blue Crab Award, Oppenheim Gold Award, and Children's Choice. Her film credits include: "Ferngully", "Flower Planet", and Disney's "The Prince and the Pauper". Lisze says, "A child is far more demanding of clarity and brevity in books than an adult, and yet a child is delightfully more tolerant of silliness. I love the challenge of expressing deep feelings with silliness and brevity."
