About the Author

Cassandra Federman spent much of her childhood in Massachusetts tromping through the temperate deciduous forest—though at the time, she just called it “the woods.” Over the course of her life, she has been many things: a hand model, a wrestler, a manatee rescuer, an actor, and a mystic wood elf—but her favorite so far has been an author-illustrator. Her previous books include This Is a Sea Cow, This Is a Seahorse, which won the ILA Children’s & Young Adults’ Book Award, and the middle grade graphic novel, Story Spinners.
