About this author

edit data

I'm the author of 43 books for young readers, including board books, coloring/activity, beginning readers, picture books, and novels. Recent titles include the New York Times best-selling picture book LIBRARY LION (illustrated by Kevin Hawkes), the middle-grade fantasy novels THE DRAGON OF TRELIAN and THE PRINCESS OF TRELIAN, and the picture book ARGUS (illustrated by Andréa Wesson). My newest picture book -- just released on August 14, 2012 -- is BIG MEAN MIKE, illustrated by the wonderful Scott Magoon. I also work as an editor and a writing teacher in New York City.
