Heavenly toddlers, adorable animals and an exuberant rhyming text are combined in this charming new picture book for the very young from Just Right for Christmas illustrator Rosalind Beardshaw, and multi-award-winning author, Sally Symes.

Sally was born in Newcaste and studied Graphic Design at Brighton. She has written a number of books with long-time collaborator Nick Sharratt, including The Gooey Chewy, Rumble Plop Book, winner of the Educational Writer's Award. She lives in Sussex with her two children, a dog called Mabel, and an axe-wielding husband.

She has also illustrated a couple of her own stories; Grandma's Beach and Grandpa's Surprise. She loves creating new characters, especially if they can be based loosely/wholly on her shaggy lurcher Basil. She lives in York with her partner Al, daughter Iris, and young son Freddie, who loves watching Calamity Jane. Who knows what Doris Day's influence will be?
