The Quiet Character: A Force to Be Reckoned With As I was reading This One Summer, I was fascinated with how both the author and illustrator created, and defined each of the characters in their own way. Mariko Tamaki seems to put less focus on certain characters. At the same time Jillian Tamaki creates strong visual imagery on those same characters.
