Deborah Freedman is the author and illustrator of many critically acclaimed books for children, including Blue Chicken, Shy, and Carl and the Meaning of Life. When she isn't making picture books or daydreaming, she likes to plant things and watch them grow, and to wander through museums, libraries, and the woods near her colorful home in southern Connecticut.
