Amy Krouse Rosenthal wrote more than thirty picture books, including the New York Times bestsellers I Wish You More, Uni the Unicorn, Plant a Kiss, and Exclamation Mark. A contributor to National Public Radio, a TED collaborator and speaker, a filmmaker, and the author of two groundbreaking adult memoirs, Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life and Textbook Amy Krouse Rosenthal, Amy raised her three children with her husband on a tree-lined street in Chicago. Holly Hatam is a girl who sometimes likes to wear something pink and sparkly and sometimes dons a cape and fights dragons. Some days her heart may seek wild adventures, but other days she just wants to be a couch potato. She is the illustrator of Dear Girl, and Dear Boy, and What Matters. Holly lives in Whitby, Ontario, with her wacky husband and even wackier son. Paris Rosenthal attends Quest University, a liberal arts school near Vancouver. She was the first woman in her high school to play on the men's basketball team, earned a black belt in Tae Kwon Do with her father, and started a cancer support group at her college. Paris enjoys playing soccer, listening to music, writing, organizing, and making things. Her favorite project was working on the book Dear Girl, with her mother.
"The missives are generally empathetic and up-to-the-minute."
--Publishers Weekly
"Abundantly necessary. Holly Hatam's simple, stark style and
limited palette reflect the essential and basic nature of equality,
conveying that Dear Girl can be any girl. Dear
Girl ends with love. Scary times call for extra love."--New
York Times Book Review
"This picture book should have a permanent place on every
empowering book display your library puts up. A must purchase. Each
missive reminds readers to be herself, be smart, be adventurous,
sometimes cry, and always listen to your instincts. The
mother-daughter connection is always loving and personal."--School
Library Journal (starred review)
