About the author

I wrote my first book when I was 8 years old. I glued photos of my cats in a blank book and wrote about them, too. Now I am an internationally-published children's author commended by the Library of Congress for my work encouraging children to read.
I write in a room between a deli and an art gallery on a small town street. I can see families walking by, and I can hear children laughing and playing. It helps me to remember what exactly I'm doing this for - creating books for families all over the world to use together, and helping children to love words.

I got and read just because it was DC. But I learned quite a bit about the city I've lived in for several decades. Some really cool info and sites that I will have to seek out. The illustrations are also beautifully done. I will be checking out a few more of the lonely planet kids editions out of the library based on this one!
