About the Author
Susan Burnash has dreamed of writing children's books since she was a little girl with a notebook full of wild ideas and a head full of wonder. Now she's living that dream, helping kids explore big feelings, big questions, and big adventures through artful stories filled with heart. In addition to *Wally's Grab and Run, the first book in her *Foster Love* series, she's also the author of *Spot or Not? a rhyming picture book that combines self-discovery and the search for identity with the colorful world of Pointillism art.
Whether she's writing about a foster pup learning to trust again or a blue dot wondering where he belongs, Susan's stories invite young readers to think, feel, and imagine. When she's not writing, you'll find her doodling, dreaming up new ideas, or making a joyful mess with glue sticks and glitter.
