The St. Louis Night Before Christmas
Ryan Nusbickel is a former television reporter, who somehow managed to win an Emmy despite spending way too much time drawing cartoons in the news van.   Originally, from Thomasville, Georgia, Ryan was educated at Wake Forest University and the Newhouse School of Communications at Syracuse University.  He's since hung up his microphone and pursued his unique brand of illustrated stories for readers, both young and old.  A St. Louis resident since 2000, Ryan has published other books for young people including Pete and the Delete Button and Follow Those Dots.
