Emily Kate Moon has always wanted to live in a tree house and write and illustrate children s books. Joone is her first book, but she has yet to live in a tree house. Instead, she lives in Austin, Texas, with her husband, two sons, and their dog, Benny."
"Joone could be a contemporary, country-dwelling cousin to Eloise:
another precocious, articulate and turtle-loving child with charm
to spare." - Kirkus Reviews
"A sweet, gentle narrative about a child who is being raised by her
grandfather .Moon shows promise, not only as a picture-book writer,
but as an illustrator as well." - School Library Journal
"Moon s ability to convey her heroine s self-assured contentment
and love for her grandfather without resorting to the twee or
overly literal is the mark of a real, if nascent talent." -
Publishers Weekly"
