Hope Collier was born in Harlan County, Kentucky. Growing up in Appalachia, she quickly learned that a good imagination — along with the ability to outrun the neighbor’s cantankerous dog — was essential to survival. Hope wrote and illustrated her first book at the age of six and never stopped writing. She now lives in central Kentucky with her husband, three daughters, and a menagerie of pets. When not spending time with her imaginary friends, you’re likely to find her stalking other writers, gaming, or searching out new ways of fitting square pegs into round holes.

Instead of listening, Jonah runs in the opposite direction. In the process of his disobedience, he brings much trouble on himse
