BOB HARTMAN, author of the best-selling Lion Storyteller Bible, and other titles in the Storyteller series, the highly acclaimed Angels, Angels All Around , and the hilarious Wolf Who Cried Boy. Kate Simpson spent her childhood with her nose in a book but always thought writing was something that other people did - people with `ideas'. In her thirties, Kate finally decided to give it a try and discovered that ideas can come from anywhere and writing can be for anyone. When she's not writing or reading, Kate loves board games and laughter, the feel of the sun on her face, and spending time with family, particularly her two young children. This is her first picture book.
