Claudia Boldt graduated with a master's degree in illustration from the Glasgow School of Art and is best known for her colorful picture book illustrations. She is a native of Germany, but decided she was fed up with the rain and currently lives in California.
""Author and illustrator Boldt specializes in anthropomorphic animal characters for her fun and entertaining stories. The characters come off as authentic in their feelings and actions, and the artistic design is on the minimalistic side, allowing the emotion of the narrative to shine through... Best shared between friends and family, this graphic novel provides an honest normalcy to growing up and is highly recommended.""–School Library Journal
