Nina in That Makes Me Mad
author: Steven Kroll
illustrator: Hilary Knight
What makes Nina mad? Lots of things--lots of little, everyday things, frustrations that all children will recognize. But Nina knows how to speak her mind and that makes her feel much better. In a series of humorous vignettes, Hilary Knight, the artist who brought the enormously successful Eloise to life, applies his magic to a text by veteran children’s book writer Steven Kroll, and brings to life a spunky character who will show young readers how to articulate their feelings.
Nina has had enough!

author’s comments:
Steven Kroll wrote nearly a hundred books for children. He said, "When I’m working on a book, I see the pictures as I write the words. How fortunate that the illustrators of my books have all seen what I’ve seen and have captured the magic I wish to share."
