About this item

Some days are Snurtch days. Ruthie is having one of those.Ruthie has a problem at school. It is not the students. It is not the classroom. It is not the reading or the writing or the math. It is something scribbly, scrunchy, grabby, burpy, and rude. It is the Snurtch. From the team behind I Don't Like Koala, this clever picture book takes a discerning look at the challenges of behaving and controlling your emotions - especially when your own personal monster keeps getting in the way.



About the Author

Sean Ferrell

I live and work, in no particular order, in New York City.

I write for both adults (booo!) and children (yay!) .

I have published two novels. I won't say which ones they are, but if you look to the right you'll see them. That's right, that's them: "Numb" and "Man In The Empty Suit." My short fiction has appeared in journals such as Electric Literature's "The Outlet" and The Adirondack Review. My short story "Building an Elephant" won The Fulton Prize.

My picture books, "I Don't Like Koala" and "The Snurtch" (illustrations by Charles Santoso) are from Atheneum Books for Young Readers.

It's here in this bio that people and websites suggest I put an anecdote, so here's one: while working on this biography I had a lot of trouble finding my own author page, so if you're reading this intentionally, well done!
