About the Author:
Barbara Williams is the renowned author of numerous books for children, including Titanic Crossing and Making Waves, as well as Albert's Toothache, which was initially published in 1974. She says, "I wrote this story and dedicated it to my daughter, Kim, a pre-teen hypochondriac, because I hadn't believed her when she reported that she fell off the monkey bars at school on two consecutive days and broke both wrists." Barbara Williams lives in Salt Lake City with her husband, a retired professor. Doug Cushman is the illustrator of What Moms Can't Do, What Dads Can't Do, and What Teachers Can't Do, all written by Douglas Wood. He says, "One of my early and major influences was the comic strip Pogo, set in the Okeefenokee swamp. When I read Albert's Impossible Toothache, it just seemed a swamp setting would be perfect." Doug Cushman lives with his family in California.
