Author Notes:	Tiffany Rose is a left-handed illustrator and author who's currently living and working in China. She's a lover of coffee, wanderlust, massive curly Afros, and children being their imaginative, quirky, free selves. She is a full-time teacher, part-time author/illustrator, and world traveler. Rose remembers what it was like as a brown child not seeing herself reflected in the books and characters she loved so dearly, and has been inspired to create art and meaningful stories, like this book and her debut, M Is for Melanin , so that underrepresented children can see themselves in books. Pencil in hand, she's changing that notion one illustration at a time.
