'''Felicia Bond''' (born July 18, 1954 in [[Yokohama, Japan]]) is an American writer and [[illustrator]] of numerous books for children. She is the illustrator of all the ''If You Give...'' series written by [[Laura Numeroff]] and published by [[HarperCollins]] Children's Books.
==Early life== Bond was born to American parents in [[Yokohama, Japan]], where she lived for two years. She grew up in [[Bronxville, New York]] and [[Houston]], Texas with her four brothers and two sisters. At age five she observed a beam of light coming in her bedroom window and knew that art was her calling.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=8GUNHGutszEC&dq=white+house+felicia+bond&pg=PA50 |title=The Essential Guide to Children's Books and Their Creators |publisher=Houghton Mifflin Harcourt |isbn=978-0-547-34889-6}}</ref> She cites numerous inspirations as a child, among them the covers of ''[[The New Yorker]]'', the drawings in her ''[[Girl Scouts of the USA|Girl Scout Handbook]]'', the sketches her mother drew for her and her siblings, and the art in children's books. She was especially drawn to the painterly, expressive style of [[Ludwig Bemelmans]] in his ''[[Madeline]]'' books, and the sensitive ink drawings by [[Garth Williams]] in ''[[Charlotte's Web]]'' and ''[[Stuart Little]]''. For many years she closely examined the work of [[Charles Schulz]], renowned for his ''[[Peanuts]]'' comic strip, and credits him as making a lasting impression on her.
==Education== Bond took a B.F.A. in painting from [[The University of Texas at Austin|The University of Texas, Austin]], with continuing studies at [[The School of Visual Arts]], New York City.
==Career==
At age twenty-two Bond moved to New York City with nine hundred dollars and worked several jobs, including illustrating botanical books, working as a freelance scene painter in a children's museum, and as an art director for Margaret K. McElderry Books.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.ils.unc.edu/courses/2008_spring/inls890_087/hutchinsandbond.pdf|title=Early career moves, Alison Peacock on Hutchins and Bond|accessdate=20 March 2024}}</ref> During this time she took classes at The School of Visual Arts and put together a portfolio of work intended for children's books. She was offered five contracts in short order and left behind her original idea of pursuing her painting. By the time she was twenty-six the first book she both wrote and illustrated, ''Poinsettia and Her Family'', had been published. Four more books of her own quickly followed<ref name=":0" /> before she illustrated ''If You Give a Mouse a Cookie'' in 1985.

==Style, content and process== [[File:If You Give a Mouse a Cookie (2) illustrated by Felicia Bond and written by Laura Numeroff.JPG|thumb|180px|left|From ''If You Give a Mouse a Cookie'']] In her illustrations Bond's signature style is characterized by rich, vibrant watercolor, often with a black line used for graphic effect. Her use of white space is often similarly applied, especially in her distinctive design of the books in the ''If You Give''... series. Her book ''Big Hugs, Little Hugs'' <ref>{{Cite news |last=Brinker |first=Sarai |date=25 January 2012 |title=Read it: 'Big Hugs, Little Hugs' perfect for preschoolers |url=http://www.star-telegram.com/living/family/moms/article3830132.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160306161117/http://www.star-telegram.com/living/family/moms/article3830132.html |archive-date=6 March 2016 |work=[[Fort Worth Star-Telegram]]}}</ref><ref name=":2" /> uses mixed media collage, which reflects her painting style from her early twenties.
She personalizes many of her illustrations by discreetly writing the names of family, friends, and pets in the art. She has said she started doing this years ago, inspired by the cross-hatched ink artwork in ''[[The New York Times]]'' by [[Al Hirschfeld]], who hid his daughter's name, Nina, at least once in almost every drawing.{{cn|date=December 2024}}
Bond's writing style varies in content but is often narrative and character based. ''Poinsettia and Her Family'' and ''Poinsettia and the Firefighters'' came about from her own childhood. Other stories began as an aimless doodle, such as the whimsical ''The Day It Rained Hearts'' and the playful ''Tumble Bumble''. Her book ''Big Hugs, Little Hugs'' is more conceptual in nature and evolved from a dream that she merged with a comforting story her father told her when she was a child and couldn't fall asleep. In interviews she has said her ideas come from an "impulsive and intuitive place", that she "lives a story" instead of tells it. She works to keep the "mysterious third thing" alive in a book while she hones the narrative arc and pacing of the words and design. She often compares the making of a book to cooking, a musical score, or a dance.<ref>[http://www.ils.unc.edu/courses/2008_spring/inls890_087/hutchinsandbond.pdf Notes on process, Alison Peacock on Hutchins and Bond]{{Dead link|date=May 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>
