Author Notes:	Susan Blackaby's first picture book, Rembrandt's Hat , was praised by Publishers Weekly as a "satisfyingly spontaneous and quirky tale...simply 'fedorable.'" Susan is also the author of Sterling Biographies®: Cleopatra --which "leaves readers fascinated and eager to learn more" ( School Library Journal )--and a poetry collection, Nest, Nook, and Cranny . Susan lives in Portland, Oregon. nbsp; About the Illustrator Carmen Segovia is an award-winning illustrator who lives in Barcelona, Spain. One winter, she chose to sketch a little groundhog that wakes before spring and passes the time by sliding down a snowy hill, and building a "snow friend."nbsp; The paintings were selected for the Bologna Children's Book Fair Illustrators Exhibition where Carmen's American editor became determined to create a book starring the groundhog. Carmen's first picture book in the US was China Doll , by Elza Pilgrim.
