As R.M. Halterman, we are a husband and wife writing and illustration team, each working in both areas. Children have a special place in our heart, with one of us working in the children's operating room and the other as a Pediatric Occupational Therapist working primarily with children with special needs. We hope our stories can spark imagination and show children their differences do not define them, as we are all perfectly imperfect in our own way.
