A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Susan Meddaugh was born and raised in Montclair, New Jersey. She graduated from Wheaton College, where she studied French literature and fine arts. After working briefly with an advertising agency in New York, she moved to Boston and worked at a publishing company for ten years, first as a designer, then art editor, and finally as art director. While there, she did the illustrations for GOOD STONES (Houghton Mifflin) by Anne Epstein, and then decided to strike out on her own as a freelance illustrator and creator of children's books. Since that time, Susan has written and illustrated many popular books for children, including MARTHA SPEAKS, which was chosen as a NEW YORK TIMES Best Illustrated Book for 1992. In 1998 she was awarded the New England Book Award, given by the New England Booksellers Association to recognize a body of work. Her work also was acknowledged with a New York Times Best Illustrated Award. She lives in Sherborn, Massachusetts.

Revue de presse

“The attention-getting opening is just the beginning of a well–paced, cleanly wrought piece of storytelling.” The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

“Meddaugh’s newest is a William–Steg—like tale of a lonely castaway who inadvertently becomes a parent.” Kirkus Reviews

“Meddaugh, who is a master at creating satisfying endings, doesn’t disappoint here...Her economical writing ahs a natural flow and the simple pictures expertly convey the comedy, drama, and emotion of this great little story.” School Library Journal

“Meddaugh’s delivery is as droll as ever, and her tale stays on track right through to the clever twist at the end.” Publishers Weekly

“Meddaugh’s sterling sense of humor, which shone in such books as Martha Speaks, is certainly evident in both the amusing text and art.” Booklist, ALA
