(Kirkus starred review) "In springy rhymed verse, Eaddy captures her heroine's inventive vision as she explores costume options while her inanimate menagerie patiently looks on. She gives multiple options a whirl, sourcing domestic props: 'Or what about an elephant/ I could be one of those.// With pillowcases for my ears,/ a sock could be my nose.'

SUSAN EADDY is an author and illustrator of children's books. Her other passion besides writing and illustrating books, is sculpting with clay. She begins work every day with clean hands-and within minutes her hands are bright green, or purple, or whatever color she is working with! The books she has written include Poppy's Best Babies, Poppy's Best Paper, My Love for You is the Sun, and Papa Fish's Lullaby. Lucy Fleming has been an avid doodler and bookworm since early childhood. Drawing always seemed like so much fun, but she never dreamed it could be a full-time job! She studied art and practiced drawing every day, and in no time, she went on to graduate from the University of Lincoln (UK), having specialized in illustration. She leapt straight into a career as a professional children's book illustrator and hasn't looked back since. She lives and works in a small town in England, surrounded by farmland and trees and accompanied by a little, black cat. When not at her desk, she prefers nothing more than to be outdoors in the sunshine with a hot cup of tea.
