Peter McCarty has written and illustrated several acclaimed books for children, including Chloe, which received four starred reviews, and Henry in Love, a New York Times Best Illustrated Book of the Year. He is also the author and illustrator of Hondo & Fabian, a Caldecott Honor Book and New York Times Best Illustrated Book of the Year, and its sequel, Fabian Escapes; T Is for Terrible; Little Bunny on the Move; and Moon Plane, a Charlotte Zolotow Award winner. Peter lives with his wife and their two children in Clinton Corners, New York, where they get lots of snow.
This gentle, pitch-perfect romance will have readers’ hearts thumping with the thrill of first love. (Publishers Weekly (starred review))

This beautiful book should appeal to the little ones who have a special someone in their lives but dare not say a word about it (School Library Journal (starred review))
