Victoria Allenby

Victoria Allenby grew up in a small Ontario town where she climbed trees, scraped her knees, and wrote down everything that happened to her. Usually in verse. As a young woman she moved to Toronto to study English and continued to write things down; one of those things was a poem called "Nat the Cat Can Sleep Like That," which was acquired by Pajama Press and turned into a picture book. Victoria dreams of never growing up to become anything, and much prefers eternal childhood, thank you very much. She lives with Cole, her muse and handler, who enjoys catnip mice, belly rubs, and—most of all—naps.
