From the Author
Fur and Feathers is a story of creativity, friendship, and animal coverings. I decided to write the story after I noticed on Arbordale Publishing's website that the editor was looking for a story on animal "wraps." Right away, that topic fascinated me. As I brainstormed possibilities, I got the idea to have a storm blow off all of the animals' coverings, and that worked perfectly. I decided it would be fun to dress the "coatless" animals in kid clothes, which I did, but the story needed something more. Then I remembered the big sewing basket filled with odds and ends that I always kept handy for creating or fixing whatever while my kids were growing up. Sophia could find things in the basket and use her creativity to make new coats just right for the animals. As she worked, Sophia (seemingly all on her own) started adding her own special touches, such as the little red heart behind the polar bear's ear. That was one of my favorite parts of writing the story.
