<strong>Ryan T. Higgins</strong> (ryanthiggins.com) is the author/illustrator of <em>Mother Bruce</em>. He does NOT live with four geese, but he and his family do live with a tortoise and a menagerie of other pets. At one time or another, Ryan has been friends with a porcupine, a raccoon, a beaver, dozens of mice, and a couple of squirrels, but he has never found a moose in his bed. He always peeks under the covers, though.
