Author Description

One of the joys of publishing picture books on American cities is discovering what makes a place unique and then sharing that discovery with others. As you tour Omaha through the pages of Omaha–Where Imagination Meets Opportunity, you’ll see we had much to discover and share. Situated on the Missouri River, Omaha, Nebraska, has evolved into one of the nation’s most vital economic centers, home to giants in the agricultural, construction, insurance, technological, transportation, and national defense industries. Omaha is also one of America’s great, livable communities, forged by a long tradition of cooperation among public and private sectors determined to keep the city economically significant, culturally vibrant and environmentally sound. Its highly evolved spirit of service is embodied in everything from riverfront revitalization projects, to cutting-edge arts events, to philanthropic organizations dedicated to the city’s youth and underserved populations.
