Anna Dewdney was a teacher, mother, and enthusiastic proponent of
reading aloud to children. She continually honed her skills as an
artist and writer and published her first Llama Llama book in 2005.
Her passion for creating extended to home and garden and she
lovingly restored an eighteenth-century farmhouse in southern
Vermont. She wrote, painted, gardened, and lived there with her
partner, Reed, her two daughters, two wirehaired pointing griffons,
and one bulldog.Anna passed away in 2016, but her spirit will live
on in her books.
Best known for her Skippyjon Jones series, Judy Schachner has
illustrated many of her own stories, including the much-loved
Grannyman and its companion book, Bits & Pieces. A #1 New York
Times Bestseller, Judy is also known for her spirited reading of
the Skippyjon stories, for which she won the first E. B. White Read
Aloud Award. She lives in Swarthmore, Pennsylvania.
"Fans of the Llama, Llama series will find the late Dewdney’s characteristic rhymes on display in this book about keeping perspective on life’s challenges. . . . gently upbeat prose reassures readers that 'everything will be OK'." --Publishers Weekly
