author’s comments:
LAURA MCGEE KVASNOSKY has written and illustrated many books for young readers, including FRANK AND IZZY SET SAIL, as well as the other books about the fabulous fox sisters: ZELDA AND IVY, ZELDA AND IVY AND THE BOY NEXT DOOR, and ZELDA AND IVY ONE CHRISTMAS. She says, "In my childhood, my sister Nan and I would run away to the backyard. These days our destinations might be more exotic -- like Provence in spring -- but the excitement of those early expeditions is hard to match." |
