About the Author
Growing up, I spent many hours playing in the woods with my sisters, brother, and dog Puppy. We had our own town, Green Meadows, where I published a newspaper written on leaves with "ink" from squished berries and charged 25 cents in hickory nut money.My family was not surprised when I decided to become a writer. After college, I wrote for newspapers and magazines. When I started reading to my kids, I remembered how much I loved picture books and started writing my own. I wished on pennies in a wishing well, and ten years later, my first picture book, The Lion's Whiskers, came out. Now, my thirteenth picture book, Applesauce is Fun to Wear, has been published. My husband and I live on an island, where I think up ideas while walking the beach and swimming in the ocean. One of my missions is to welcome the youngest readers into the wonderful world of books.
