The Elf Bucket was illustrated by Polly Methenitis. The drawings are all in colored pencil, and those original drawings were painstakingly photographed and prepared for publication by KM Photo Studio in Dallas, TX. Digital versions of the book were uploaded in the highest resolution possible, which is the reason the downloads can be a bit large.
Polly Methenitis is a retired educator and great-grandmother. She is a life-long artist, and her work adorned one of the elementary schools she taught at for decades after her retirement.
