About the Author

After a successful career teaching children with severe behavioral challenges, school counseling and school administration, Stephanie Shaw now loves creating stories that range from quiet to quirky, poetry to prose. When she isn't assisting door-to-door vacuum cleaner vampire salesmen, taking cows on shopping trips for muumuus, or helping garden slugs with their calligraphy, she can be found at home in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Visit her on the web at StephanieShawAuthor.com.

Emilie Gill completed her MA in children's book illustration from the Cambridge School of Art. She was a Highly Commended recipient of the Macmillan Prize for Illustration and has been longlisted for the World Illustration Awards. As a child, Emilie couldn't decide whether she wanted to be a musician, a zookeeper, or a secret agent. In her spare time, Emilie will most likely be found befriending the local wildlife of Kentucky, where she lives. Follow her on Instagram @emiliegilldraws and visit her on the web at EmilieGill.com.

Reviews

"Hen serves as a sympathetic stand-in for this satisfying story’s audience. Gill’s fine-lined illustrations . . . bring a visual pop to the pages. There’s much playful humor ("Hen appeased me with the peas!" says Fox in the end) in this entertaining take on the classic ‘Little Red Hen’ story."—The Horn Book
