About the Author
Alison Neumer Lara lives in Chicago with her two daughters. Alison's parents claim her age-three vocabulary was more like a ten-year-old's, and she always has had an uncanny ability to find the perfect word for whatever she wanted to convey. A published journalist many times over, she is delighted to add children's book author to her accomplishments.
Helen Haggerty is an illustrator and high school art teacher based in Massachusetts, where she lives with her wife, Meghan, and their sweet and silly dog, Phoebe. As the proud aunt to four avid readers, Helen hopes her illustrations inspire the same sense of wonder, joy, and imagination that they bring to her own life.
