Author Notes:	Stephanie Stansbie has been a children's book editor, and then an author, for most of her adult life. She adores editing and writing in equal measure and has always worked on illustrated books, where the art is as important as the word. Stephanie lives in Oxford, England, and enjoys spending time with family and going to the theater. From an early age, Wendy Warren has drawn, however in her early years, she always drew people wearing ballet shoes as she couldn't do feet very well. Wendy's colorful illustrations are inspired by the people, quirky architecture, and the natural landscape around her. She draws by hand, experimenting with watercolor pencil and crayon.
